Thanks, but that changeset has a few problems:

  . the new command xref--revert-xref-buffer uses an internal name,
    and has no doc string
  . neither NEWS nor the user manual document the 'g' key in XREF
    buffers
  . it looks like this new command is not useful after M-., because I
    get an error message when I try using it (perhaps this is because
    I didn't understand its use case due to lack of docs)

Let me know if I can help in fixing any of the above.  (I tried to
figure out what this command does and how, but quickly got lost in a
chain of indirections via undocumented internal functions and
variables, sorry.)
