title: git: simplest way to share a repository between two laptops on a local network?
body: <p>If my friend has a git repository on his laptop, and we are both connect to the same LAN, what's the absolute simplest way for me to clone that repository?</p>
  
  <p>As far as I can tell, the options are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Getting SSH access to his machine</li>
  <li>Installing a web server and using <code>git instaweb</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But neither of these are <em>particularly</em> simple (or, at least, as simple as <code>hg serve</code>)… Is there anything better?</p>
