Visit a file in a clean git repository, modify it and save its buffer. Turn on auto-revert-mode in its buffer. Run 'git checkout -- ' and notice that auto-revert-mode doesn't revert the buffer immediately using 'notify', it only reverts it according to auto-revert-interval. This is in contrast to modifying the file with a command like 'echo test >> ', after which auto-revert-mode reverts the buffer instantly using 'notify'. This seems to be because prior to writing the file, 'git checkout' unlinks it first. It would be nice if auto-revert-mode worked with notify in such cases as well. git version 2.36.0 cpu: x86_64 no commit associated with this build sizeof-long: 8 sizeof-size_t: 8 shell-path: /bin/sh In GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.17.6) of 2022-04-20 built on miha-pc Repository revision: 4714f34928c12cc9ebda7c115526db4aa87c0d51 Repository branch: tmp Windowing system distributor 'The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.12101003 System Description: Artix Linux Configured using: 'configure --without-libsystemd --with-native-compilation' Configured features: ACL CAIRO DBUS FREETYPE GIF GLIB GMP GNUTLS GPM GSETTINGS HARFBUZZ JPEG JSON LCMS2 LIBOTF LIBXML2 M17N_FLT MODULES NATIVE_COMP NOTIFY INOTIFY PDUMPER PNG RSVG SECCOMP SOUND SQLITE3 THREADS TIFF TOOLKIT_SCROLL_BARS WEBP X11 XDBE XIM XPM GTK3 ZLIB Important settings: value of $LANG: en_US.utf8 locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix Major mode: Fundamental Minor modes in effect: tooltip-mode: t global-eldoc-mode: t show-paren-mode: t electric-indent-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t tool-bar-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t buffer-read-only: t line-number-mode: t indent-tabs-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t auto-composition-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t Load-path shadows: None found.
