You need filesystem access to the workspace and the database from the
mtn process.  Strictly speaking, none of these three things needs to
be hosted on the same machine; both the workspace and the database
could be on non-local filesystems, and not necessarily the same one.  

It's not really recommended or common practice, and some kinds of
remote filesystems are more suitable for this kind of use than others,
but it can be handy in specific circumstances.

(some of those circumstances are ones where partial pull would also be
handy).
