When loading a Julia script as follows:

julia -i -e 'using Revise; includet("script.jl")'

Revise will not update the function definitions etc. afterwards. The original version of the script gets loaded without issues though.

Tested with Revise master (dd6e970) on Julia 1.0.0 and the normal Revise workflow (using Revise; includet("script.jl") in the REPL) works without problems.

Edit: just a bit more debugging:

sh$ julia -i -e 'using Revise'
julia> includet("script.jl")

also fails (i.e. not updating), so it seems to be a problem with loading Revise in the -E/-e option.
