Yes, we initially looked at sparkleshare for this. However, sparkleshare
seems to be nothing more than git, with something to commit
automatically when a file is added/modified in the sparkleshare

 - it seems no history is needed in our case as it will be used only to
   share work in progress
 - they want this to be accessible by http to give links on the mailing
