To be clear: I don't want an additional prompt for confirmation, just a short message in the minibuffer, like [Undo: undoing `revert-buffer'] Because there are cases when the user (I) would want to stop at that point. > I assume this change kills off the old confirmation about reverting. > (Posting from news:gnu.emacs.help). I wonder why this prompt for confirmation was implemented. I mean, you seldom will type M-x revert-buffer RET by accident... If it's of no use and everybody hates it, we should indeed consider to remove it, at least for the interactive case. Regards, Michael.
