Thanks. For Eli, I summarize the essential of my proposal.

shell-mode is changed to obey the existing tramp-histfile-override in
the remote case, which tells whether to use the default history file,
another history file (you can give the file name), or to suppress the
history file at all. Like many Tramp methods, you can customize it via
connection-local variables. I made also the proposal to suppress reading
the remote history file for shell-command by default (performance!);
every user can change the config of course.

Best regards, Michael.
