It seems that temp file could get very large in your case.

How much free disk space is available on /tmp on that remote server?

Instead of direct pushing over the net, you could create a bundle file locally
(see hg help bundle) and transfer that manually to the server
side and then use hg pull from that bundle there (see hg help pull):

On local:
  $ cd local-repo-dir
  $ hg bundle bundle.hg remote-repo-url

creates local file bundle.hg that contains the changesets that
are missing in the remote repo. Then on remote do:

  $ cd remote-repo-dir
  $ hg pull bundle.hg

The bundle file is compressed, so this is very efficient.
