i'm working on something similar: instead of web-based ssh client, it's a web-based git client UI - you can "checkout" repos, browse commits, tree, read individual files, etc. with no server-side code at all; git objects are fetched and parsed on client-side. first target is the dumb-http git protocol, so people can host git repos on static websites, and visitors don´t need to clone by a local git client to peek in.
