Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] config doc: elaborate on what transfer.fsckObjects does
Date: Fri, 25 May 2018 19:28:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180525192811.25680-4-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180525192811.25680-1-avarab@gmail.com>

The existing documentation led the user to believe that all we were
doing were basic reachability 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.
