So you're using ssh...

They should be whatever is needed to access via ssh.  I think that's
something like 'ssh_home_t' (sorry, haven't fought SELinux and SSH for
a few years now), but the question isn't really anything to do with
Git but of the combination of SELinux and SSH.


Hope that helps,
Elijah
