The problem here is that which-function-mode tries to use
diff-find-source-location (via add-log-current-defun).
diff-find-source-location is called with a noprompt because of this, but
it's really an interactive command that's been pressed into service by
which-function-mode.
And diff-find-source-location really wants to re-visit the file, which
means that you get this prompt over and over again.
I don't really know how to fix this... it'd be nice if
diff-find-source-location could just give up instead of re-loading the
file in this situation.
