1. Turn on global-auto-revert-mode.
2. Open a few files that are different between different branches of the
Git repository you're working in (e.g. Emacs). Have at least 2 such files.
3. Switch from one branch to another. Notice that not every buffer has
updated its contents.
4. Switch to one such buffer, press SPC (or any other letter) - see the
"xxx changed on disk; really edit the buffer?" notification.

There's not much difference if I enable auto-revert-mode in each buffer
explicitly, instead of using global-auto-revert-mode.
