non-bare repo on cloud remote

Hi,

I wondered if it's possible to have a non-bare repo on a cloud remote. I want to have some sort of Dropbox-like workflow were I simply put stuff into a directory on my drive and it gets synced via SSH to a central VPS so I can also always access it via HTTP, for example.

Sure you can.. That's how http://downloads.kitenet.net/ works, which is where people download git-annex builds from!

making a remote repo update when changes are pushed to it

Seems that I don't get it... Here is what I did:

First, I create a new repo with the assistant on user@laptop ~/temp/annex-test, then:

user@laptop ~/temp/annex-test % echo test1 > test1
user@laptop ~/temp/annex-test % echo test2 > test2

user@server ~/tmp % mkdir annex-test
user@server ~/tmp % cd annex-test
user@server ~/tmp/annex-test % git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tobru/tmp/annex-test/.git/
user@server ~/tmp/annex-test % git annex init
init  ok
(Recording state in git...)
user@server ~/tmp/annex-test % mv .git/hooks/post-update.sample .git/hooks/post-update       
user@server ~/tmp/annex-test % cat .git/hooks/post-update
#!/bin/sh
#
# An example hook script to prepare a packed repository for use over
# dumb transports.
#
# To enable this hook, rename this file to "post-update".

exec git update-server-info
user@server ~/tmp/annex-test % chmod +x .git/hooks/post-update
user@server ~/tmp/annex-test % echo '#!/bin/sh\ngit annex merge' > .git/hooks/post-receive
user@server ~/tmp/annex-test % chmod +x .git/hooks/post-receive

user@laptop ~/temp/annex-test % git remote add server ssh://user@server/home/tobru/tmp/annex-test
user@laptop ~/temp/annex-test % git annex assistant --stop
user@laptop ~/temp/annex-test % git annex sync
commit  
ok
pull server

ok
user@laptop ~/temp/annex-test % git annex assistant

Now I expect the files test1 and test2 to be at user@server ~/tmp/annex-test. But they are not displayed. What am I doing wrong? The main thing I wan't to achieve: Push the files from laptop to server without adding laptop as remote on the server.
