I can agree, but only if revert-buffer indeed changes buffer-read-only.

Right.

It seemed "internal" enough.  But I guess I was wrong.

File permission bits can be viewed as just another form of content.

Personally I would not mind seeing a non-greyed-out menu-item for Revert
Buffer in such a case. I have modified the buffer ('s meta-data)
compared to how it is on disk, so I might want to revert it.

Because revert-buffer is meant to handle the file's content, not its
read-only setting.
E.g. maybe the buffer is read-only because the user hit C-x C-q.

Maybe we should use a 3rd setting for buffer-read-only which says "obey
the file's writability".

I'm going to guess it is an unintended consequence of changing the
default value of revert-buffer-function (and
revert-buffer-insert-file-contents-function) to be non-nil (which was
probably for the purpose of advice).

This change has no NEWS entry and no documentation updates.

Yes. Maybe Stefan could explain the reasoning behind.

So the result is basically now that the "Revert Buffer" menu item is
always enabled, which may not be precisely what the OP wanted.

Hmm, I wanted to implement something with file notifications.

However, surprisingly this problem is reproducible in Emacs 23, but it
is NOT reproducible with Emacs 24.3.50. This is because
`revert-buffer-function' is set to `revert-buffer--default' since last
year.

My analysis was wrong, but the result (not a bug) is somehow right for
Emacs 24.3. We shall changed that to "Fixed in 24.4", 'tho.

Best regards, Michael.

Why can't the revert-buffer menu-item check the file mode bits match,
the same way it verifies the modtime? IMO it should just call
file-attributes once, and use that to check time and permissions.

> A buffer has been loaded with a file.  It is initially unwritable.  A chmod is performed in a shell window to make it writable.  Going into the File menu pulldown, the Revert Buffer stays gray-ed out, and the file is still listed as unwritable.

Emacs is not notified, when a file changes its state outside Emacs. Only
prior to writing to a file Emacs checks, whether a file has changed on disk.

The upcoming Emacs 24.4 has implemented file notifications on systems
which support it (mainly GNU/Linux and MS Windows). This could be used
for this kind of checks.

For Emacs 23, I don't regard this as a bug.

A buffer has been loaded with a file.  It is initially unwritable.  A chmod is performed in a shell window to make it writable.  Going into the File menu pulldown, the Revert Buffer stays gray-ed out, and the file is still listed as unwritable.
