The relevant part of the doc is "It must be set TRUE when using the accesslog overlay for delta-based syncrepl support." Otherwise it has no=

=20 Actually, what the manpage says is: =20 This option should be set TRUE when working with newer releases that properly support this flag. It must be set TRUE when using the accesslog overlay for delta-based syncrepl replication support. =20 So, that clearly states it should *always* be TRUE unless you have a 2.3.=

earlier consumer, which is technically not allowable. There is zero reas=

changed to simply set the flag to TRUE. One less item for anyone to have=

Then the man page needs updating since the information on it is blatantly wr= ong. The "newer releases" is clearly indicated to be anything later than 2.= 3.11.
