You'll want to look at 'bzr merge-directive'.  I've never used it
myself, but by the looks of things you'll want to be running:
  'bzr merge-directive bzr+ssh://<path to remote repo> -m <merge
                                            message> > merge-directive'
which will produce a merge directive file named, imaginatively,
'merge-directive'.  You should then transfer this file to the remote
repo and 'bzr merge merge-directive'[0].  Voila, a completed merge.
