This is to be expected, as by default `project-find-functions' only
includes one function that uses and relies on VC. If it were just this,
I would therefore not consider this to be a bug. Does anything else
work? `project-find-file', `project-shell', `project-compile', ...?
What might be worth doing is issuing a warning if `project-try-vc' (the
default project-finding-function) is invoked while VC is effectively
disabled.
You could try solving this by either adding your own alternative to
`project-try-vc' (e.g. if you just use Git, then this
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun project-try-git (dir)
"Find a super-directory of DIR containing a root file."
(let ((repo (locate-dominating-file dir ".git")))
(and repo (list 'git dir))))
(cl-defmethod project-root ((project (head git)))
"Return the root of a explicit PROJECT."
(cadr project ))
(with-eval-after-load 'project
(add-hook 'project-find-functions #'project-try-git))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
might be enough, but still be optimised a bit more).
Another idea might be to just disable VC for Tramp, or rather just some
Tramp connections?
