I believe I figured the problem out. Continuous noisy and
CPU-consuming reverting of dired buffers occurs, _regardless_ of the
value of `global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers', if
global-autorevert-mode is enabled and the user either does not have
the "a" switch in dired-listing-switches or if the user inserts
subdirectories.
There are two problems:
1. `global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers' was ignored for dired
buffers. I already committed a fix to CVS for that one, because
that one seemed to be the urgent one:
`global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers' is a hyper-new option whose
default value is nil.
2. To determine whether a dired buffer has changed,
`auto-revert-dired-changed-p' just counts the number of files in
the dired buffer and compares it with the number of files listed
by (directory-files dired-directory). This is completely
unreliable because of dired-listing-switches, because of inserted
subdirectories, and probably because of other reasons as well.
I did not fix the second problem.
Sincerely,
Luc.
