And that plus the fact that there was a 'git log' process hanging
around on the remote machine indicated somebody was waiting for
something to happen that never would, which lead me to this in my
(remote) .gitconfig

    pager = less -FRXI

Once I unset that, everything started working fine. Magit works
because it passes '--no-pager' to git, which means this is a VC issue,
not a Tramp issue.
