Sorry, didn't read your message carefully. There is way to just clone
worg repository but not, AFAIK, to push to it:

git clone http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/worg.git

I have successfully clone worg repo (takes ages to complete it).
AFAIU, in order to push to worg it must be accessible over https, but
seems https://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/worg.git don't work.
