Executing the version control commands on the remote machine
============================================================

There are no hooks provided by VC to allow intercepting of the version
control command execution. The calls occur through the `call-process'
mechanism, a function that is somewhat more efficient than the
`shell-command' function but that does not provide hooks for remote
execution of commands.

   To work around this, the functions `vc-do-command' and
`vc-simple-command' have been advised to intercept requests for
operations on files accessed via TRAMP.

   In the case of a remote file, the `shell-command' interface is used,
with some wrapper code, to provide the same functionality on the remote
machine as would be seen on the local machine.
