I don't quite understand, but would say: both ;-)

You can't tell pip to pull from arbitrary git repositories, but only
from those that contain the packaging code as outlined in the distutils
documentation.

These git repositories do *not* have to be hosted on pypi. You should
however be able to do the following:

$ git clone git://example.com/repo.git
$ cd repo
$ python setup.py install

The pip requirement file would contain the following line:

-e git+git://example.com/repo.git#egg=rep

I hope this answers your questions :-D
