Sorry if it's old news for some of you guys, but I just found out that using MacFUSE and sshfs makes it super easy to use TextMate projects/tabs with files on remotes servers (as long as you have SSH access). I know the question comes back once in a while on here, and I for one was never really satisfied with the workarounds people suggested...

This solution makes it really dead simple to get access to all TextMate Project features... I wrote up a little blog post with the details if someone's interested:

Hope it helps :)

Fantastic write up! I was _very_ surprised at how easy it was to set up macfuse and sshfuse.

This is off topic so please reply in private if you wish.

Is it possible to automount sshfs volumes?

Be careful with this. A co-worker has tried this method and we saw a few cases where SSHfs gave us an older (cached?) version of a file and even truncated the last 30% or so of a file on one occasion. (Thankfully, we could just "svn revert" it.) Which brings me to the other drawback: you can't do many svn operations on a working copy that's mounted via SSHfs. Also, projects on remote filesystems can be unusably slow.

I posted [a couple of commands][1] a while back that make it a little easier to work locally and sync with a remote machine. I'll most likely clean them up and make a bundle soon.
