Tramp 2.1, brought to Emacs trunk some weeks ago, caches file
information in order to speed up. It uses cached information for
example when `file-attributes' is called, and cannot recognize
external file changes therefore.
Does it make sense to block use of the cached data specifically in the
case of checking whether a file has changed for C-x C-f?
What are the main occasions on which the cache is useful?

This seems to fix it! Thanks a lot!
`file-precious-flag' does other things. It should not be reused to
control whether Tramp checks for a changed file.
Having a parameter for users to set is not a very good solution.
First let's look for a way to make Tramp do the right combination
of things by default. Michael, can you try?
