I give an example where occurs. I have home WLAN with several
computers that share the disks via SAMBA to Windows and Linux
machines. Many times when I sit on one PC and find a problem that I
fix. But I don't necessarily remember that the same file is already
open in another computer and its Emacs buffer that I worked yesterday.

VC buffers should also note changes on disk, when they are modifies by
3rd party programs.
