 When non-nil, both file buffers and buffers with a custom
 `revert-buffer-function' and a `buffer-stale-function' are
 reverted by Global Auto-Revert mode.  These include the Buffer

-changes in subdirectories or in the contents, size, modes, etc.,
-of files.  You may still sometimes want to revert them manually.

 Use this option with care since it could lead to excessive auto-reverts.
