    <p>Often, when I switch branches in git, if the files are open in emacs, then emacs asks if I want to revert them (as it thinks they've changed on disk) even though the contents are identical.</p> <p>Firstly I'd like to find a way for emacs to not ask me about it at all if the contents on disk are identical to those in the buffer.</p> <p>Secondly I'd like a command that reverted (without query) all my open buffers that have no unsaved changes, and queried me about those that do have unsaved changes.</p> <p>Alternatively, I'd be open to suggestions about other solutions, ways of working, etc I could try. I'm fairly happy writing emacs-lisp if people can give me pointers on where to start.</p> <p>PS I'm using Aquamacs on OSX if that matters.</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>Well, I've found the revbuffs package to be pretty much what I need. Certainly enough to stop me wanting to try and write anything new myself. (I mapped revbuffs to Cmd-R which works quite nicely. Kind of similar to Cmd-R in other Mac apps).</p> <p>Global-auto-revert mode would have been a perfectly fine solution, and I wish I could choose two answers. I prefer revbuffs simply because of a, possibly irrational, feeling of wanting to be in control of what happens.</p> <p>I'd kind of guessed that if I accessed git from within emacs, then it could probably be handled easier, but I currently prefer accessing git through the commandline. (I haven't quite been using emacs long enough to make it my operating system). I will investigate magit a little more thoroughly though.</p> <p>Edit2:</p> <p>I've been using magit for a year now and can highly recommend it for dealing with git from within emacs. However I still use revbuffs whenever I do a rebase outside of emacs.</p>

    1. COI know this is ancient, but I like Singletoned's reasoning, and have a little fork of revbufs on github https://github.com/capitaomorte/revbufs

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
