I'd love to find a good iPad style dev workflow, but the step that requires "commit and push" before compiling is a deal breaker for me. Is there no rsync or good way to move a local copy to a remote dev server from the iPad?

Well you have things like Dropbox and iCloud and box.net, etc, etc. They will sync files across magically. Plus there are editors that can do it across things like SFTP: https://panic.com/coda-ios/ https://panic.com/coda-ios/

  I have never gotten a cloud service to sync well to a (multiuser) server. Maybe I just didn't try hard enough or it's gotten easier. But syncing to a server so you can compile there is a pain no matter how it's done.

    Local dev is basically always better.

One thing I've heard others do is to just ssh into a remote machine and do all coding against that (through vi or whatever) instead of coding locally.

I use Coda to push files to remote servers for exactly this reason. There's a good number of alternatives that are less feature-rich than Coda which can do the same thing. I think Prompt is probably a great alternative if you just want to SSH a file onto a remote box.

Working Copy is an app that provides you with, just that, a local working copy of your git projects on your phone. Not just an explorer. Just started using it yesterday and I love it.

Is "directly" editing over SFTP not a thing anymore? Desktop editors could (can?) do that.
