bug#33194: 26.1; Auto-revert mode causes emacs to use 100% cpu whenever a file is being written to in the home directory

[Justin Van Winkle]

I mean it is certainly a bug to use 100% of a cpu just because a file that is in the same directory to a file you are editing is being written to, but it may not be unintentional behavior.

Ok, in that case I wonder if this is actually a bug.

That was clear.  Like I said: auto-revert mode makes Emacs watch
changes to _any_ file in that file's directory.
