A nicer behavior would be to leave the buffer contents intact and say
"can't revert, file not found" so that I don't loose information like
file marks.

Bonus points if I would be allowed to specify the new directory name and
revert using that path, keeping things like marks.  Maybe that
would already be possible indirectly using vdired - if Emacs would not
leave me with an erased buffer.

Michael.
