I like this change. But I have now run into the scenario where I type
`g' to see the new value of a variable (where I expected a change) and
nothing seemed to happen. The problem, of course, was that the value of
the variable did not change as I expected.
For me, this is fine, but I think this risks being confusing to
beginners. And now I'm starting to think that perhaps this is why the
prompt was added in the first place.
So I wonder if it would perhaps make sense to show a message when the
buffer is reverted? That way the user will get at least some feedback.
