autorevert vs git checkout

[Herman, Geza]

Hi all,

It seems that immediate autorevert (I mean autorevert induced by OS file 
watcher) doesn't work on git checkout. As git first deletes the file, 
and then puts a new version during checkout, emacs only autoreverts 
these files periodically (auto-revert-interval), not immediately.

Even magit's magit-auto-revert-immediately doesn't work correctly 
because of this.

Currently I'm using these advices on magit functions to handle the 
situation better, but I wonder is there a better solution?

  (defun my-refresh-buffers (&rest r)
    (dolist (b (buffer-list))
      (with-current-buffer b
        (when buffer-file-name
          (unless (buffer-modified-p) (revert-buffer :ignore-auto 
:noconfirm)))))
  )

  (advice-add 'magit-checkout :after 'my-refresh-buffers)
  (advice-add 'magit-branch-checkout :after 'my-refresh-buffers)
  (advice-add 'magit-branch-orphan :after 'my-refresh-buffers)
  (advice-add 'magit-branch-and-checkout :after 'my-refresh-buffers)
  (advice-add 'magit-branch-or-checkout :after 'my-refresh-buffers)
  (advice-add 'magit-branch-spinoff :after 'my-refresh-buffers)

Thanks,
Geza
