Ah, might the problem be that I use, for example,

  (define-key evil-insert-state-local-map "e" 'ruby-electric-end-character)

in my ruby-mode-hook?  So when magit reverts a ruby buffer,
ruby-mode-hook is run, the define-key above is run, but then
evil-local-mode is in the wrong state and is turned off instead of on
or something?
