+When running @code{process-file} or @code{start-file-process} on a
+remote @code{default-directory}, the default settings in
address@hidden are not used as it is the case for local
+processes.  However, if you need environment variables other than set
+in @code{tramp-remote-process-environment}, you can let-bind them to
address@hidden Only those variables will be set then:
+
address@hidden
+(let ((process-environment (cons "HGPLAIN=1" process-environment)))
+  (process-file @dots{}))
address@hidden lisp
+
+This works only for environment variables which are not set already in
address@hidden

 If you use other @value{emacsname} packages which do not run
 out-of-the-box on a remote host, please let us know.  We will try to
 integrate them as well.  @xref{Bug Reports}.
