Done.

This is version control, enabled by default in Emacs. If you don't need
it at all, you can disable it by setting vc-handled-backends to nil. If
you want to disable it just for all remote files, you can set
vc-ignore-dir-regexp to an appropriate value. The Tramp manual
recommends

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq vc-ignore-dir-regexp
      (format "\\(%s\\)\\|\\(%s\\)"
              vc-ignore-dir-regexp
              tramp-file-name-regexp))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards, Michael.
