I didn't use history comments feature, so in my case only read only status was
changed on check-in; anyway, I wanted the buffer to become read-only too and
did this by simple advice:
(defadvice verify-visited-file-modtime (after verify-read-only-state activate)
"Verify that read-only state of file on disk corresponds to read-only state
of the buffer"
(setq ad-return-value
(and ad-return-value
(let* ((buffer (ad-get-arg 0)) (file (buffer-file-name buffer)))
(or (null file) (and (boundp 'edebug-active) edebug-active)
(save-excursion
(set-buffer buffer)
(or (backup-file-name-p file)
(equal (null buffer-read-only)
(file-writable-p file)))))))))
I still don't know why the buffer is not reverted in your case (when timestamp
is changed), but it can try this code anyway.
PS Browsing autorevert customizations reveals auto-revert-check-vc-info
option; it may help you.
