vim-coc gets out of sync when I make changes outside of Vim

[oconnor663]

Here's an example that seems to trigger this:

1. Edit a line in an open text file and save the file. Vim-coc puts the ~ symbol in the signcolumn.
2. Run git reset --hard outside of Vim.
3. Execute :e inside Vim.

Expected: The ~ should go away (eventually). Actual: The ~ remains indefinitely.

Am I wrong about the expected behavior here? Is there a way to make vim-coc poll for changes on the filesystem? What's the best way to manually "refresh" it when it gets into this state?

:e should work, please provide vim information.

I'm sorry, I should've done that at the beginning. This is on Manjaro Linux:

A simpler repro for me is:

1. Edit a file in a git repo. Don't save it.
2. Undo the edit with :e!.

For me the ~ appears in step 1 (correctly) but remains in step 2 (incorrectly).

:e doesn't reload buffer on neovim 0.4.3, it's recommended to use neovim 0.5.0. Try add

autocmd CursorHold * CocCommand git.refresh

to your vimrc.

Oh my god, autoread in NeoVim nightly is amazing. I didn't even know this was a thing :)
