tramp (2.1.16-pre); Documentation for tramp-encoding-shell unclear

[David Abrahams]

Enter your bug report in this message, including as much detail
as you possibly can about the problem, what you did to cause it
and what the local and remote machines are.

If you can give a simple set of instructions to make this bug
happen reliably, please include those.  Thank you for helping
kill bugs in Tramp.

Another useful thing to do is to put

  (setq tramp-verbose 8)

in the ~/.emacs file and to repeat the bug.  Then, include the
contents of the *tramp/foo* buffer and the *debug tramp/foo*
buffer in your bug report.

--bug report follows this line--

The documentation for tramp-encoding-shell states:

  *Use this program for encoding and decoding commands on the local host.
  This shell is used to execute the encoding and decoding command on the
  local host, so if you want to use `~' in those commands, you should
  choose a shell here which groks tilde expansion.  `/bin/sh' normally
  does not understand tilde expansion.

  For encoding and deocding, commands like the following are executed:

      /bin/sh -c COMMAND < INPUT > OUTPUT

  This variable can be used to change the "/bin/sh" part.  See the
  variable `tramp-encoding-command-switch' for the "-c" part.

  Note that this variable is not used for remote commands.  There are
  mechanisms in tramp.el which automatically determine the right shell to
  use for the remote host.

So if it's not used for remote commands, what /is/ it used for?  I would
like an example, please, because "the encoding and decoding command on
the local host" is still to vague to me.  It's hard to decide "if I want
to use `~' in those commands" without being able to tell which "those
commands" are.

Thanks
