It doesn't work correctly, so it should be made to work.
It fails when the Info buffer has a non-default buffer name,
e.g. "*info*<1>".  In this case `Info-revert-find-node'
pops a new empty buffer "*info*", reads nil values of Info variables,
and kills that empty buffer.  Then after reverting "*info*<1>",
it puts these nil values to Info variables of "*info*<1>"
(Info-history, etc.)

Perhaps a `(eq major-mode 'Info-mode)' check should be added
before `(pop-to-buffer "*info*")' in `Info-revert-find-node'
like in other Info commands.  And it needs to keep the original
buffer name.  I'll try to fix this.
