Yes. this seems OK. But there is a delay before auto-revert every 2 appending to the test file.

echo aaa >> test.c (auto-revert ok)

echo aaa >> test.c (delay about 4s, then auto-revert ok)

echo aaa >> test.c (auto-revert ok)

echo aaa >> test.c (delay about 4s, then auto-revert ok)

I added some debug log to two method (name in []):

[file-notify-callback]: (9 (extend write) /Users/jun/test/1.c)

[auto-revert-notify-handler]: (9 changed /Users/jun/test/1.c)

Reverting buffer ‘1.c’.

[file-notify-callback]: (9 (extend write) /Users/jun/test/1.c)

[auto-revert-notify-handler]: (9 changed /Users/jun/test/1.c)

[file-notify-callback]: (9 (extend write) /Users/jun/test/1.c)

3 write events but only one auto-revert.
