The documentation for revive states: "Revive.el can save global or local
variables...". However, this does not work. Looking at the code, it
seems the trouble is that the code at lines 452-454 ...

(setq revive:save-variables-global
      (append revive:save-variables-global-private
              revive:save-variables-global-default))

is performed, only, and immediately, after

(defvar revive:save-variables-global-private nil)  -- line 448

so following the instructions on lines 52-59 will never work.


I do see that variable revive:save-variables-local-private is handled
differently, and is used on line 648. Maybe that should be where the
global variables should be set.
