Subject: [PATCH 3/4] config doc: elaborate on what transfer.fsckObjects does
Date: Thu, 24 May 2018 19:35:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180524193516.28713-4-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180524193516.28713-1-avarab@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180524190214.GA21354@sigill.intra.peff.net>
The existing documentation led the user to believe that all we were
doing were basic readability sanity checks, but that hasn't been true
for a very long time. Update the description to match reality, and
note the caveat that there's a quarantine for accepting pushes, but
not for fetching.
