I tried sshfs but it's a bear when searching a large remote repository (dev environment is on a t2.micro EC2 instance with a repository of a couple hundred megs, including assets).

What I've been doing instead is using the rsync-ssh plugin https://github.com/davidolrik/sublime-rsync-ssh

I keep a local copy of the repo, which allows me to work even without access to the cloud dev environment and makes searching orders of magnitude quicker, but still saves changes to the remote environment whenever I save a file in Sublime.

It's not perfect, but works well enough for my current workflow, so thought I'd share.
