this was spot on, Thanks a lot. The following link

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/862/org-mode-go-back-from-sparse-tree-to-previous-visibility/44158824#44158824

had a ready-to-use implementation for this. Excellent, makes life a lot
easier :)

Best,

Roland

Org provides two functions to save and restore visibility (and a macro
that does both, but isn't useful in your case):
`org-outline-overlay-data' and `org-set-outline-overlay-data'.

You may want to use them within `before-revert-hook' and
`after-revert-hook'.

[O] Keeping outline after reverting buffer

[Roland Fehrenbacher]

Hi,

is there any option or other customization to keep the outline of an org
buffer (uncollapsed parts of the tree) after the buffer has been
reverted (org-mode 9.0.1, emacs 25.3.2)? In my case only the top
headings are displayed after reverting. This is quite annoying and
time-consuming in a setup, where one constantly switches between git
branches e.g.

Thanks,

Roland
