1372 @vindex auto-revert-check-vc-info
1373 When Auto Revert mode (@pxref{Reverting}) reverts a buffer that is
1374 under version control, it updates the version control information in
1375 the mode line. However, Auto Revert mode may not properly update this
1376 information if the version control status changes without changes to
1377 the work file, from outside the current Emacs session. If you set
1378 @code{auto-revert-check-vc-info} to @code{t}, Auto Revert mode updates
1379 the version control status information every
1380 @code{auto-revert-interval} seconds, even if the work file itself is
1381 unchanged. The resulting CPU usage depends on the version control
1382 system, but is usually not excessive.
