Hi Michael,

Ok, I understand that.  My patch is a bit hard-coded you're right but I
think it will reduce false positive triggering the user prompt about
unsafe auto-save.

Ok so it might not be possible to have this three state
'tramp-allow-unsafe-temporary-files' I propose.

Thanks.  That looks great.  IIUC, with this, one can disable only
auto-save (not locking nor backup) on a per connection basis.  I guess
that it could replace what I was proposing then.
