This is extremely interesting. I think the main people to benefit from this would be self-deployment kind of people or freelance developers. Mostly freelance devs I believe.

For my stuff, I'd definitely use this - but my first order of business would be to talk people into getting proper hosting so I wouldn't have to. Obviously that's not possible for freelance gigs. I'll definitely use it when I need to deploy to X host. Normally though I do quite a decent job of remembering which files I need to upload, but now I don't have to!!

Excellent stuff though! Thanks for creating this!

The only useful infrastructure that my university will give me is a login account on an ancient (locked down) solaris box, and an ftp account. I could make ftp:// links shareable to colleagues and point them to tortoisegit as a useful client for accessing and editing said stuff using their existing login credentials (via judicious use of chmod) and this would solve a significant problem.
