Oh, whoops, I misread this.  There's no support for branching _TO_
anywhere but the local filesystem, no.  You can branch _FROM_ the
local filesystem, or a ftp/sftp/http URL, but not (AFAIK) rsync; rsync
is really a tree-copying protocol, not a file-access protocol, so it'd
be a bit weird using it to branch.
