[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]
When doing vc-revert in a vc-dir buffer, and when one has a bunch of
open files, one somtimes gets the unhelpful message:
vc-revert: Please kill or save all modified buffers before reverting
Nicer would be prompting the user to kill/save those buffers, or list them.
