If you see my latest plugin (rsync-push), it can work using rsync over ssh.
But do be aware of the warnings.

There is some development work for handling ssh directly, using paramiko.

But the bigger push right now is trying to work out an asynchronous and
pipelined layer so that remote operations are faster (right now bzr
branch from mainline takes about 14min, but rsync takes about 30s).

So there is work being done, but it isn't really there yet.
