I have only 1 server, that stores my web site, and my git repository.

When deploying with capistrano, if I configure my repository like this:

set :repository, "ssh://u...@example.com/var/git/myapp.git"

When capistrano connects to the server through SSH, it tries to connect to 
the server again through SSH, thus asking me for the SSH password:

$ bundle exec cap deploy:update
  * 2012-11-16 13:49:55 executing `deploy:update'
 ** transaction: start
  * 2012-11-16 13:49:55 executing `deploy:update_code'
    updating the cached checkout on all servers
    executing locally: "git ls-remote ssh://u...@example.com/var/git/myapp.git master"
    command finished in 1294ms
  * executing "if .......(omitted)....; fi"
    servers: ["example.com"]
    [example.com] executing command
 ** [example.com :: out] u...@example.com's password:
Password:

Is there any way to instruct Capistrano to look at a local server 
repository, instead of connecting again through SSH?

I have tried to accomplish it this way:

set :repository, "file:///var/git/#{application}.git"
set :deploy_via, :copy

But then it does not recognize the git repository:

$ bundle exec cap deploy:update
  * 2012-11-16 13:52:59 executing `deploy:update'
 ** transaction: start
  * 2012-11-16 13:52:59 executing `deploy:update_code'
    executing locally: "git ls-remote file:///var/git/myapp.git master"
fatal: '/var/git/myapp.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
*** [deploy:update_code] rolling back
  * executing "rm -rf /var/www/myapp/releases/20121116125259; true"
    servers: ["example.com"]
    [example.com] executing command
    command finished in 652ms
Command git ls-remote file:///var/git/myapp.git master returned status code pid 3009 exit 128

Of course the repository works well. In my server I run this:

$ git ls-remote file:///var/git/myapp.git master

... and I get:

*Note:* I have already searched through all similar questions related to 
this question, but none of them solved my problem.
