! @vindex auto-revert-check-vc-info
!   Whenever Auto Revert mode reverts the buffer, it updates the version
! control information, such as the version control number displayed in
! the mode line.  However, this information may not be properly updated
! if the version control state changes outside of Emacs---for example,
! if a new version is checked in from outside the current Emacs session.
! If you set @code{auto-revert-check-vc-info} to @code{t}, Auto Revert
! mode will update the version control status information periodically.

+ @vindex auto-revert-check-vc-info
+   When Auto Revert mode (@pxref{Reverting}) reverts a buffer that is
+ under version control, it updates the version control information in
+ the mode line.  However, Auto Revert mode may not properly update this
+ information if the version control status changes without changes to
+ the work file, from outside the current Emacs session.  If you set
+ @code{auto-revert-check-vc-info} to @code{t}, Auto Revert mode updates
+ the version control status information every
+ @code{auto-revert-interval} seconds, even if the work file itself is
+ unchanged.  The resulting CPU usage depends on the version control
+ system, but is usually not excessive.
