We are using gitolite hooks in one git server I am managing. It's
great and allows all types of branch permissions restrictions. You
don't even need shell access, since all the configuration is done in a
special git repository, to which only the proper people has access to,
and this repository has hooks on post-receive so they do the changes
in the configuration for you. II have not used gitolite wiht LDAP, but
it seems it's possible, and it is probably a good starting point.

The only caveat I have found is that it is easy to screw the config
file if you are not careful when editing it.
