If I do above, it would probably break Git and other things on local
computer. So it is better to set it for Tramp only, in my case, as I
do not handle version control on remote servers.

That did work, and I am happy for it.

There is another disturbing warning which I always answer with "yes",
the one 

Autosave file on local temporary directory, do you want to continue?(yes or no)

I would like to avoid that warning above as well.
