Where's the fun in being safe? ;)

You have a good definition of fun, I like that.
If you haven't seen this already, it might be something you'll like.
You can avoid having to type in the full remote URL when you do a
push, pull, fetch, etc by using the git remote command (or just
editing the git config file) in a repository. Say I want to push and
pull from a repo fairly often, in my working repo I could run
something like this:
# Add an 'fp' remote to save some typing
$ git remote add fp ssh://fedorapeople.org/~tmz/public_git/some.git
# List the configured remotes and their URLs
$ git remote -v
fp ssh://fedorapeople.org/~tmz/public_git/some.git
# Push my master branch to fedorapeople.org
$ git push fp master
You can have many remotes configured, making it easy to push and pull
between a bunch of people.
The bash completion shipped with git will even complete these remote
names for me, allowing me to avoid yet more typing (at the expense of
my poor tab key). Using that, perhaps you could generate the git
remote lines for your users, to help make their pushes easier to read
and type.
