bug#36748: 26.2; Eshell: eshell-visual-commands and tramp

[Baptiste Strazzulla]

Hello,

I added git to the visual commands of eshell so that it would output git commands in an ansi-term buffer. This works well locally but running the same command remotely through tramp gives me the following error:

..: 1: exec: /ssh:<user>@<host>:/usr/bin/git: not found

even though git is installed on the remote machine. I came across this thread https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/17862/eshell-visual-commands-with-tramp offering to trigger a local shell on the remote host for visual commands but it's seems like an overkill. Is this bug-worthy?

In GNU Emacs 26.2 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.8)

Windowing system distributor 'The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.12005000
