Show HN: Make your dotfiles follow you automatically when you ssh to a server

Instead of writing a shell script, would adding this to your ~/.ssh/config work?

  PermitLocalCommand yes
  LocalCommand tar c -C${HOME} .oh-my-zsh .zshrc .vim .vimrc .tmux.conf | ssh -o PermitLocalCommand=no %n "tar mx -C${HOME} ; chsh -s /bin/zsh"

You could also use the ControlMaster and ControlPath directives to ensure only a single ssh handshake is made.

(Having said that, I get my dotfiles to follow me by keeping my home directory in mercurial.)
