Subject: Bug (CVS HEAD): `before-revert-hook' not run before
 auto-revert-tail-mode reverts

I submitted a patch a while ago that runs `after-revert-hook' immediately
after auto-revert-tail-mode reverts the end of the current buffer.  I just
now realised that `before-revert-hook' never gets run *before* the revert.

I submit the current one-line-change patch [1], in the hopes of fixing this
problem.

My motivation for this change is reasonable synergy between
`auto-revert-tail-mode' and `highlight-changes-mode', in order to get Emacs
to highlight the last several changes of a log file.  Setting
`highlight-changes-rotate-faces' on `after-revert-hook' causes the
highlighted text in the buffer always to have the same face; setting
`highlight-changes-rotate-faces' on `before-revert-hook' (were it called)
corrects my problem.

Thank you.
