Re: Tip: avoiding net overhead using git over sshfs

Use git over sshfs is not so good, but is an option for people that
don't have shell acess to the server/hosting like me.

# mounting
sshfs -o workaround=rename <user>@<host>:/home/<user>/  <mount_point>
cd <the_directory_of_your_project>

# we will move the .git directory to the local filesystem
mv .git ~/.my_project_git
# and create a symlink to the local .git
ln -s ~/.my_project_git .git

I think you'd better work locally, and push to the sshfs directory
from time to time. Then, you'd both have working tree and .git locally
and fast, while keeping the safety of replicating to your ssh server.
