Subject: 23.2; reverting a buffer that visits a gpg-encrypted file
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2010 12:10:34 -0500

Start `emacs -Q'
Visit a gpg-encrypted file ~/foo.gpg
Change the file on disk.
M-x revert-buffer
Emacs asks "Revert buffer from file /home/winkler/foo.gpg? (yes or no) "
Answer "yes"
Emacs will ask "foo.gpg changed on disk; really edit the buffer? ..."

I find this behavior rather irritating. What am I supposed to do to
revert the buffer?

If I answer `y', emacs says
"File on disk now will become a backup file if you save these changes."
If I answer `n', I cannot revert.

Thanks.  It should be fixed in r101419.
