There's one thing I found very alarming with the 'ssh' method, when I first
used it.  I'm used to connecting to a remote machine via ssh, hitting
the up arrow to get back the last shell command I ran, which is
invariably "screen -r" and hitting return.

After TRAMP has used the ssh connection, there are lots of weird and
wonderful commands left in the shell history.  So the next time I
connected to the remote host and hit the up arrow, I thought somebody
had hacked my account, because I was sure those commands were nothing
I had ever typed.  One of them was even "unset HISTORY" which looks
like something a hacker trying to hide their tracks might type.

It took a while for me to realise the TRAMP had 'typed' those commands
for me.
