Many years ago when I used Microsoft Visual Studio I used the same
procedure. I did my editing in Emacs and used auto-revert mode. I had
VS setup to revert periodically too.
I found it best to avoid global-auto-revert-mode and setup auto-revert
mode only for the relevant modes (C++ in my case).
Something to watch out for here is that Emacs believes that .h files are
C files not C++. Microsoft don't use the .hpp file extension. If you
use VS a lot it's best to make .h files automatically choose C++ mode.
I don't have any code for this unfortunately, I deleted it from my
.emacs years ago when I stopped using VS.
