Subject: 23.0.60; [PATCH] dir-local variables don't work on remote files
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 10:08:27 -0800

I guess for speed reasons, dir-local-variables don’t work when opening  
remote fiales. Which is unfortunate for me, since I need them. Here’s  
a patch against HEA which implements a simple switch for it, defaulted  
to the current behavior.

It took a while, but finally I have applied the patch, modified. The
customer option is called `enable-remote-dir-locals'. When set to `t',
remote .dir-locals files are evaluated as well. And I've fixed an error
of the patch in the logic of the condition.

I hope it is still useful for you.

Best regards, Michael.
