Thanks for your work.

But I see some problems in your patch that I already had fixed in my
version.

1.  When I prepend a letter z to the first file in a buffer, so that it
will be under the last files after reverting, and I hit C-c C-c, then
point is at another file afterwards.  This was an issue of the original
report.

2.  If renamed files are also visible in another dired buffer, they
just disappear there.  That makes no sense.


Regards,

Michael.
