I don't want emacs to return the file to its previous state. 
global-auto-revert-mode doesn't do that, anyway. global-auto-revert-mode 
detects that a file has been changed on disc, and if I haven't made any 
edits to that file, it reverts the file _AUTOMATICALL_, without asking 
any questions. So that works as expected.

What doesn't work is, if only the timestamp of the file changes (touch 
filename), then emacs doesn't autorevert it, and instead tells me that 
it changed and asks whether I want to really edit it.

Hope this makes it clear...
