I would like to access (clone/push/pull) a private (via ssh) git repository while behind a corporate firewall that only allows http proxy access. I have written a robust Java (daemon) program (based on the JSCh class library) that will allow me to leverage local and remote port forwarding and I am hoping to leverage this but my brain hurts when I try to envision how to set this up.
The git repo depot (to coin a phrase) is at foo.server.com/var/git so the natural inclination, ignoring the fireall, to set up a clone would be:
$ git clone ssh://foo.server.com/var/git/myrepo.git
but the firewall will block this command. I'm inclined to try something like
$ git clone ssh://localhost:8022/var/git/myrepo.git
where localhost:8022 is forwarded to foo.server.com:22
So is this path worth pursuing? Is there any easier solution that is still secure? Are there pitfalls or gotchas I should be aware of?

Using socat and a .ssh/config like this:\n\nHost=foo.server.com\nProxyCommand=socat - PROXY:your.proxy.ip:%h:%p,proxyport=3128,proxyauth=user:pwd\n\n\nYou should be able to ssh to foo.server.com and\n\ngit clone ssh://foo.server.com/var/git/myrepo.git\n\n\nis expected to work.",

Can you get a normal ssh (command-line) session going? If so, git should also work.\n\nWhen using ssh, git should pick up your configuration options in .ssh/config.\nIf that is not enough, you can point the environment variable GIT_SSH at a modified version of ssh (or shell script wrapper).",

This is my setup working under a Linux machine (localhost on port 18081 is a proxy).\ncat ~/.ssh/config\nHost github.com\n User git\n ProxyCommand nc -x localhost:18081 -Xconnect %h %p\n",
