That’s what I thought.

As I’ve understood it, from reading up on evil-local-mode, it can be
used when you only want Evil in some buffers.  I want Evil everywhere.
 For me, both evil-mode and evil-local-mode are enabled in all
buffers, but is getting disabled by revert-buffer and it being
disabled disables Evil in my buffers.
