Relitive paths with ssh

[hessiess at hessiess.com]

I am attempting to set up a personal web server where each website is an
independent bzr tree. Each tree has its own user with the home dir set to
the web root, and I can successfully log into the home dir

ssh user at server

However if I attempt to check out one of these directories

bzr checkout sftp://user@server

for some reason SSH resolves to the servers root dir, requiring the
absolute path to be specified. Is there any way to make bzr resolve to the
users home dir?
