[TxMt] Remote projects

[Kumar McMillan]

I much prefer the rsync method.  I work locally with all code in
subversion or cvs and most of the time I rsync to a dev server for
testing before commits (the dev server has 20G+ test databases
configured, etc).

Doing this in TextMate is a synch.  At first I just had an rsync -auv
command that synced my ~/Sites with $USER at dev:~/public_html.  When I
got a lot of projects going I found rsync started to slow down so I
use a python script now which basically syncs just the current project
or the file (if no project).  The script also adds some sugar, like
--exclude ".svn" --exclude ".DS_Store" and guesses some paths, can
handle multiple servers/users, etc.  If anyone would be interested in
the script let me know.

In response to Sean's request, "build rsync into TextMate" : *ahem* it
is built in :)
