So there should be an option enabling/disabling auto-reverting for remote files, as proposed by Kai. That would be trivial to do. I believe it would be OK if the default were to disable and if the docstring gave suitable warning that enabling can cause problems on slow connections. If we go for an option, then another question is whether autoreverting of remote directories is sufficiently fast on fast connections that, if both this option, say global-auto-revert-remote-files, and global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers are enabled, then remote directories should autorevert as well. Note that, if I enable autoreverting of remote files, then, even with the new Tramp version, I still get either a hang or an "Invalid base64 data" error if I try to visit my second remote file using Tramp-ssh. I have a slow connection. I do not get crashes any longer, however. Sincerely, Luc.
