Another case: a Makefile may generate a.x automatically from b.x.  If b.x is 
updated, a.x will be regenerated on the next run.  If a.x was already open in 
Emacs, Emacs will prompts if the user tries to change it, even if a.x didn't 
actually change as a result of the re-generation.  a.x is not likely to be 
version-controlled, since it's auto-generated.

Cheers,
Clément.
