But wouldn't it be better GNU Emacs would reload the file instead of warning/asking things?not correct, what if you modified that file? You would lose your modification without even knowing, not a very good idea...I think auto-revert-mode doesn't revert the buffer either if it has been modified. I think that is a good thing, but then tastes may vary. :)
it's good to know that auto-revert mode will not revert a modify buffer. however afaik Emacs will not let you save a modified buffer if the file has changed.
i like Peter's idea of Emacs having the ability to diff-merge a conflict when you've modified a buffer and the file has changed.
Emacs should be smart enough to auto-reload a buffer if the file has changed and the buffer has not been edited, this would be a welcomed enhancement =)
