The documentation for revive states: "Revive.el can save global or local
variables...". However, this does not work. Looking at the code, it
seems the trouble is that the code at lines 452-454 ...

(setq revive:save-variables-global
      (append revive:save-variables-global-private
              revive:save-variables-global-default))

is performed, only, and immediately, after

(defvar revive:save-variables-global-private nil)  -- line 448

so following the instructions on lines 52-59 will never work.


I do see that variable revive:save-variables-local-private is handled
differently, and is used on line 648. Maybe that should be where the
global variables should be set.

revive.el is not part of Emacs, so you need to report this somewhere else.
