Subject: [PATCH 2/6] Documentation/config: mention "now" and "never" for 'expire' settings
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:00:53 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437710457-38592-3-git-send-email-sunshine@sunshineco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1437710457-38592-1-git-send-email-sunshine@sunshineco.com>

In addition to approxidate-style values ("2.months.ago", "yesterday"),
consumers of 'gc.*expire*' configuration variables also accept and
respect 'now'/'all' ("do it immediately") and 'never'/'false' ("suppress
entirely").

Suggested-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
