See this for a long complaint about auto-reverting from about two years ago: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git.magit/1227 IIRC, the agreement was to add an option to turn it off and keep the default on. Regardless of my own case (where I have my own hooks for a safe kind of auto-revert via undo), I still think that the decision of whether or not people want the auto-revert feature or not should be determined globally, rather than specific packages installing their own defaults. This is especially true with the default way that auto reverting is done (and the way the magit-specific code did it), which can easily lead to lost work. But of course having an option to turn it off is good enough for me. (Since the above post I've learned to do some git games via a shell-command instead of via magit.) -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "magit" group.
