If you want to use subprojects over TRAMP and the super-project and the
sub-project are both identified by marker files files, then it's not
something we can avoid.  IOW we do just as many marker-file probes as
needed: you pay for what you get.  If the user wants out of the bargain,
he can customize one of the search functions to give up in TRAMP
contexts.

Where/when can I find this code?
