Subject: bug#33084: 26.1.50; Outdated revert-buffer documentation
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 12:11:56 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABczVweX3UyBnOjW8XytSjeJJOPrSWPKiRv=5ZtCBdACHgAO0w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello.

Regarding the Emacs manual, I think the following paragraph in the
"Reverting a Buffer" section is outdated:
"Reverting marks the buffer as not modified. It also clears the buffer's undo
history (see Undo). Thus, the reversion cannot be undoneā€”if you change your
mind yet again, you can't use the undo commands to bring the reverted changes
back."

I think that was the previous behavior of revert-buffer, but it was changed
a while ago, so now it is possible to do M-x revert-buffer RET yes RET
and then do
C-/ to bring the reverted changes back.
