Couple more things:

1. One of the methods of breaching the machies are timing attacks
and usual excplouts over networks. They breach your server through a
service and get to own it.

2. Servers as yours have high "multiplicative effects". Your server can
fruther the attack on any client that connects to git repo and thus
infect their machines through similar or very same attack vector.

3. World is full of intertwined human swarm, engaged in a war. This
kind of stance exposes you and might make you seem as a prticipant and
thus a target. Norm for the git is https transfers everywhere outside
controlled internal LAN. 
You are sticking out of the norm. If anyone
gets suspicious, you could be on shortlist of hostile "suspects".
Swarms aren't known for lengthy legal processes, evidence collecting,
"innocent until proven guilty" etcetc.
