AIUI only darcs and bzr have working trees phyiscally present on remote
branches.

Its pretty hard to do well and reliably, see for instance the angst over
how to get high performance *and extracted remote copies of the source*
which we discussed for quite some time. We've decided to go with a
'smart server' - essentially a copy of bzr invoked remotely - to achieve
this in the short term.
