File modifications outside Spyder

[spyder-bot]

Spyder Version: 2.1.10
Python Version: 2.7.3
Qt Version: 4.8.2, PyQt4 (API v1) 4.9.3 on Linux

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open a file in Spyder
   1. Modify the file externally What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The modifications are not detected automatically and there is no way (that I've found) to reload it inside Spyder without closing and opening it.
      Modifying the file under Spyder without reloading it erases the external modifications.
      I see two solutions to this problem :
   2. either detect the modifications of the current file automatically (and check when changing tabs) and ask the user if the modifications should be taken into account or ignored
   3. either provide menu entries to reload the current opened file or all opened files.

Please provide any additional information below

. This issue is especially annoying when using version control software.

Revert file to disk: "File" menu --> "Revert".
