Package: emacs21
Version: 21.1-7
I have global-auto-revert-mode enabled on several buffers that I am editing.
The corresponding files are in a CVS sandbox on an NFS-mounted filesystem.
When I am done my editing, I'm finding that if I go to a shell and do a "cvs
ci" on the files to check them in, the buffers immediately auto-revert due to
the fact that CVS is updating the keywords ($Id: $ specifically).
The problem is that after auto-revert, in many of the buffers I find strings
of null chars at the end.
ie. ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
This only happens so far with the combination of CVS and Emacs'
auto-revert-mode. Using Vim's equivalent, it works fine, so I suspect
auto-revert-mode and not CVS.
