Subject: [PATCH 5/5] overidx: document why we don't use SQLite WAL
Date: Wed,  1 Jul 2020 21:06:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200701210619.29601-6-e@yhbt.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200701210619.29601-1-e@yhbt.net>

I was wondering about this myself the other day and had to read
up on it.  So make a note of it for future readers.
