Hi Roger,
Here are the free solutions that I use:
(1) github.com for open source projects.
(2) https://bitbucket.org/plans is ideal for small teams of 5 or less and unlimited private repos
(3) gitolite works great on a private linux environment - it just needs a single regular user account. Easy to install, configure and manage, unlimited users and repos. Has some nice access controls to limit branches and/or repos that specific users can commit to, allows per-repo configuration. I like it and would recommend it for Linux - I have not set it up on OS X. YMMV. Set it up and forget it. Administration is via simple config files in a admin repo. Admin changes are performed in the local clone of the admin report and pushed to server. So full admin change history is also in the git history of the admin repo. Adding a user is a simple case of adding their public ssh key to a folder.
HTH, Kieran

It does a great job discussing git from the client's perspective but I didn't see anything about setting my own repository. I realize that it is distributed but I think a "central repository" can still be used. If I am misunderstanding the way git works, feel free to correct me.
