Then how about this: You keep your repository local, and you also hack
locally. When it's time to push your changes to the production server, you
do this:

  $ GIT_INDEX_FILE=.git/index.published \
    GIT_WORK_TREE=/sshfs-mount/on/production/server \
    git reset --hard

This will update only files that changed since you did this the last time.

Disclaimer: I didn't try this myself.
