How about moving the entire documentation of auto-revert-check-vc-info
to one of the sections that document VC?
I indeed believe that it belongs in `(emacs)VC Mode Line'. I also
made some further changes to the text. I propose the following patch,
which I can install, if desired:

for a changed file. Since checking a remote file is too slow, these
modes do not check or revert remote files.
- @vindex auto-revert-check-vc-info
- Whenever Auto Revert mode reverts the buffer, it updates the version
- control information, such as the version control number displayed in
- the mode line. However, this information may not be properly updated
- if the version control state changes outside of Emacs---for example,
- if a new version is checked in from outside the current Emacs session.
- If you set @code{auto-revert-check-vc-info} to @code{t}, Auto Revert
- mode will update the version control status information periodically.

+ @vindex auto-revert-check-vc-info
+ When Auto Revert mode (@pxref{Reverting}) reverts a buffer that is
+ under version control, it updates the version control information in
+ the mode line. However, Auto Revert mode may not properly update this
+ information if you change the version control status without changes

+ @code{auto-revert-check-vc-info} to @code{t}, Auto Revert mode updates
+ the version control status information every
+ @code{auto-revert-interval} seconds, even if the work file itself is
+ unchanged. The resulting CPU usage depends on the version control
+ system, but is usually not excessive.
