  If the Dired buffer is marked modified and there are no changes you
  want to protect, then most of the time you can make auto-reverting
  resume by manually reverting the buffer using @kbd{g}.  There is one
! exception.  If you flag or mark files, then, unlike for the Buffer
! Menu, you can safely revert the buffer.  This will not erase the flags

! However, the buffer will stay modified, even after reverting, and
! auto-reverting will not resume.  This is because, if you flag or mark
! files, you may be working on the buffer and you might not want the
! buffer to change without warning.  If you want auto-reverting to
! resume in the presence of marks and flags, mark the buffer
! non-modified using @kbd{M-~}.  However, adding, deleting or changing
! marks or flags will mark it modified again.
