A combination (on Android) of aGit, the patched Connectbot (for sshagent key handling) and Terminal IDE (better editing options than connectbot) would work. Maybe install the Hacker Keyboard app too (nicer layout for onscreen keyboard).

aGit currently does not support push and commit, but I believe that is in the works.

I've used this setup on my Transformer Prime. My G2 phone is, of course, smaller, but I have used that to shell into my server and edit config files to fix a problem, so reading and editing code on a mobile device is certainly doable.

A 7" screen device such as the Nexus 7 might a nice balance though I have physical keyboards for my phone and tablet, which I really like.

I have done some editing using the on-screen keyboard on the TF201, not the end of the world, just not as nice as a more conventional keyboard. The constant toggling to get to special keys is tedious.
