Hang on a bit, this seems very unrelated to supporting
homedir-relative paths and I don't understand precisely what you're
trying to do, or what you mean by 'uploading the entire file'.

You want the contents of the branch visible on the web server.

It's not clear to me whether you want the branch history stored there
too, or whether you want to pull it onto the web server from some
other machine. If it's the second, you just need to create the right
checkouts on the server then periodically run 'bzr update' in them to
update the tree.

The limitation with ssh urls (pending
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/109143 being finished and
merged) is just that you can't directly refer to the home directory.
You can certainly do bzr+ssh://user@host/home/user/thing
