In fact, the Info's index-search command (bound to `i' in Info mode)
would have been the perfect solution here.  I just typed "i reread
TAB" and was presented with a single possible completion: "reread a
file", which placed me right on the node "Reverting" that describes
the command revert-buffer.

Yet another win for the wonderful Info-index command.  I wish people
used it more than they do now.
