There are two uses for revert-buffer in DIRED mode: 1) to update the DIRED buffer to reflect changes on disk 2) to flush any pending Delete requests. I claim that each of these is useful separately, and so would suggest that ONE of the following be done: 1) if there are pending Delete's, request confirmation before reverting Revert will lose pending Deletes. Go ahead anyway? (y or n) 2) if there are pending Delete's, always put up a *Deletions* window 3) have some way of preserving Delete markings over the Revert command: Reverting directory listing: preserve Delete marks? (y or n) 4) Give a choice (messy) I would be happy with any of 1-2-3. Presumably 1 and 2 are about equally easy to implement.
