I have this now in my emacs:
;; Avoid doing autosaves when modifying remote files
(setq auto-save-visited-predicate (lambda () (not (file-remote-p buffer-file-name))))
And this setting works the way I expected, i.e. if i do
M-x : (funcall auto-save-visited-predicate)
in a file loaded from remote I get nil.
Unfortunately emacs still autosaves the file in the buffer...:-/
But... rummaging through emacs' files.el that 'C-h v' sent me to, I
found this:
(defcustom remote-file-name-inhibit-auto-save-visited nil
"When nil, `auto-save-visited-mode' will auto-save remote files.
Any other value means that it will not."
:group 'auto-save
:type 'boolean
:version "29.1")
I'll try using this.
