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.

I can't use git-push as I explained before.
I use git as a deployment tool in this case.
I work locallly and use git-pull to sync my local repo and the
"production"(server).
Git works better than a manual (S)FTP sync.

Then how about this: You keep your repository local, and you also hack
locally. When it's time to push your changes to the production server, you
do this:

  $ GIT_INDEX_FILE=.git/index.published \
    GIT_WORK_TREE=/sshfs-mount/on/production/server \
    git reset --hard

This will update only files that changed since you did this the last time.

Disclaimer: I didn't try this myself.
