John, thanks for your comments. I was actually thinking of doing something similar to what Stephen Gran suggested above; let rsync can take care of ensuring that all puppet masters always have the same copy of the same code tree. So in that situation there is no need for the puppet masters to have access to the revision control system. Indeed, I am not even sure that this configuration will be any more troublesome than having the puppet masters contact the git repositories using git pulls.
