You may not have actually wanted to save the document; commands like
"revert" or "close, don't save" always work with respect to the last
time _you_ saved, not the last time it auto-saved.  This is useful if
you manage to delete your entire document, then an auto-save happens
one second later. :-)

If there's an auto-saved version of your document newer than the last
one you saved, OmniOutliner will let you know.
