If you are editing a file in Vim, and some other program changes the
file, Vim will usually notice it and ask you if you want to reload the
changed file. It is said that in version 7 you'll get no warning if the
file's timestamp has changed but the actual contents haven't. You can
set 'autoread' to automatically read the changed file, or define a
FileChangedShell autocommand to replace the message query by something else.
See
:help timestamp
:help FileChangedShell
:help 'autoread'
