It is possible to disable dir-local variables by setting `enable-local-variables' to nil. However, this will also disable file-local variables. Perhaps we should add a similar variable `enable-dir-local-variables' that will disable only dir-local variables. It could also have an option `remote' to disable searching upwards in remote filesystems. (This option could behave like the variable `dir-locals-chase-remote' in the package `dir-locals.el'). -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
