Subject: bug#43884: Give explanation choice when asking about reverting buffers
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2020 00:04:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87lfgfo06e.5.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
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."
