23.1; auto-revert-mode loses point in dired buffers |

In dired buffers, auto-revert-mode will cause the location of point to change
to point-min whenever a change occurs. It seems much better to keep current
point; this may not always be the same cursor location, but will be correct
much more often.
Patch follows:
