bug#49869: Revert buffer? Yes/No/Maybe

No, I propose this as a solution to Juri's problem, instead of his proposed solution to "revert the buffer immediately" with C-x x g, which is indeed too drastic. Something even better to take Lars' suggestion (do not ask confirmation when the buffer has not been modified) into account:

I don't think we need to cater to personal preferences by adding new commands. The user option exists so that users could customize the behavior to their liking without requiring us to provide a solution for every personal taste.


I don't know. I did not ask for this, but Juri's remark (that with a default configuration the confirmation uses more keystrokes than the command itself) makes sense to me. And setting the user option has a global effect, not just on this particular command. But it's up to the maintainers to decide what's the right way to go.
