Hi!

I just had auto-revert crash on me... (Emacs 25.0.92 on Windows.
`debug-on-error' is t.)

I had a file open in Emacs that was rewritten over and over again by an
external process. My guess is that Emacs decides that it should be
reverted, but when it actually reads the file, it is no longer present.

I would suggest that auto-revert silently ignores this error.

This is the backtrace (with simplified paths):

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "File e:/file.txt no longer exists!")
  signal(error ("File e:/file.txt no longer exists!"))
  error("File %s no longer exists!" "e:/file.txt")
  revert-buffer-insert-file-contents--default-function("e:/file.txt" nil)
  revert-buffer--default(ignore-auto dont-ask)
  revert-buffer(ignore-auto dont-ask preserve-modes)
  auto-revert-handler()
  auto-revert-buffers()
  apply(auto-revert-buffers nil)
  timer-event-handler([t 22284 48416 597024 5 auto-revert-buffers nil
nil 400000])

Sincerely,
    Anders Lindgren
