Using git to pull to production

I'm going to copy my web-application code to production server with git pull. First I make a SSHFS mount to remote server and then run git pull in the right directory.

If I need to skip production configs etc. I can use .gitigonore.

Very clean and effective so far (compared to manually dragging all changed files from folder to folder)!

But what if I have different directories on remote server? E.g. devel localhost has ~/app/ and ~/app/webroot/ but production server has ~/app/ and ~/public_html/

How to solve these kind of problems?
