Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-758:
-------------------------------------------

Thank you for the full test case showing the issue!

However, I believe this is by design.  When you init a RAMDirectory off a 
current Directory, it makes a full copy of that original Directory and from 
then on the original & the copy are totally independent.

So it's not expected that changes to the original Directory would be reflected 
in the copy?

> there is a problem in IndexReader.isCurrent() if using two reader instances

> As far as i can see this would work for FS- and RAMDirectory. But then the
