From 42042723a884930caf80ed578fc9fee2e0822bfb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan McGee Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 09:48:56 -0500 Subject: doc: ensure SyncFirst behavior with flags is clear When a SyncFirst transaction kicks in, no flags like '--force' are honored. This is for good reason, as honoring something like '--asdeps' could be quite unintentional. Document this fact and a possible workaround.
