According to:

   (info "(tramp) GVFS-based methods")

   "The =E2=80=98tramp-gvfs-enabled=E2=80=99 variable, being non-=E2=80=98n=
il=E2=80=99,
    signals that TRAMP can use GVFS-based methods."

So, to turn off GVFS-based methods (which includes =E2=80=98dav=E2=80=99 and
=E2=80=98davs=E2=80=99, among others), set the variable =E2=80=98tramp-gvfs=
-enabled=E2=80=99
to nil:

   M-: (setq tramp-gvfs-enabled nil)

Then eshell will no longer attempt to use these two methods
(or any of the GVFS-based methods described in the TRAMP
user manual), and so completion on /da will no longer list
/dav or /davs.
