rsync -avP project username at my.server.com:.


In general we don't create working trees on the remote side. There is
the 'bzr-upload' plugin, which does create working trees, but *doesn't*
put the ancestry there (though if you don't have bzr on the remote
machine, that may be exactly what you want.)

There is the 'bzr-push-and-update' plugin, but that runs bzr on the
remote machine to keep the working tree updated.

My guess is that you should either use rsync manually, or use bzr-upload.
