I was referring to the design choice of approximating "completion
context" by "partial Tramp file name".

I was thinking of what happens when `locate-dominating-file` does:

      try /ssh:host:./foo/bar/.git
      try /ssh:host:./foo/.git
      try /ssh:host:./.git
    ? try /ssh:.git      ?
      try /.git
