1. (setq remote-file-name-inhibit-locks t)
2. Open some file remotely, lightly edit and save it.
3. See this message in the Messages buffer.

BTW, I'm surprised this variable isn't mentioned in Tramp's FAQ (the
performance section in particular). It would also make sense to switch
it on by default - it has a noticeable effect on performance.
