In Emacs 21 (and 22, I think), C-x v v on a file that had been, say,
committed outside of Emacs since you saved it would update that status
(e.g., ":1.4" -> "-1.5").  That stopped working in 23 (not that it was
ever a documented feature, I suppose); perhaps we should put it back, or
add a command `vc-refresh' or so.  Of course, `revert-buffer' does work,
but ideally this "new" feature would not lose the undo history and reapply
the major mode and so on.
