Revert buffer from file /cf/updates/TABZ? (yes or no) ?
Sounds serious. How about adding a "?" option that would tell the user
what that means:
Revert buffer from file /cf/updates/TABZ? (yes or no or ?) ?
So if he hits "?" a *Help* buffer would appear telling him the serious
consequences of each of the two choices.
After looking at
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Reverting.html
we see the message should say
"Yes: Throw away the changes you made in the buffer and replace them with the
saved version of the file from disk."

$ emacs file # and edit it but don't save yet.
$ touch file
$ emacsclient -n file

Thanks. In this case, I think the prompt should just be more explicit
so that a "?" isn't necessary. So I've made this change in Emacs 28
instead for this scenario.
