Documentation

This option affects how the *Locate* buffer gets reverted.

If non-nil, offer to update the locate database when reverting that buffer.
(Normally, you need to have root privileges for this to work. See the
option locate-update-path.) If nil, reverting does not update the locate database.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 22.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
