Perhaps a better solution would be to do
git archive --format=tar --prefix=project/ | bzip2 -f9 | \ ssh user@remote -C "cat > project.tar.bz2"
Then unpack and build as usual on the remote end. Works a treat and is currently the gist of the only line in my "push-to-web" script (the rest of it just extends the command to run to also unpack the tarball).
