Looks like you are plagued by caching. revert-buffer reverts a file
only, if it is modified on disk. Tramps caches file attributes by
default for 10 seconds (see remote-file-name-inhibit-cache). Set this
value to t in order to test, whether it makes a difference. However, you
have said you did wait for 10 seconds, so maybe this isn't the reason.
Another cache might come from sshfs itself. Tramp calls sshfs like
"sshfs localhost:/ /tmp/tramp.sshfs.localhost -C -o idmap=user,reconnect".
See tramp-mount-args settings in tramp-sshfs.el, line 33-34. You might
try to add other options, like "-o no_readahead" or "-o sync_readdir",
see sshfs(1). Don't forget to unmount the sshfs mount point, before you
start a new Emacs session with changed options.
Best regards, Michael.
