Hi. I'm running a very recent emacs built from git (658daf9). In the
last two weeks or so, remote VC mode stopped working. Recipe:

1. emacs -Q
2. C-x C-f /127.0.0.1:emacs (or any other remote path that has a git
   repo)
3. C-x C-v D (or any other VC-mode function)

Instead of seeing VC mode do its thing it now throws an error:

  env: ‘GIT_DIR’: No such file or directory
