X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0f92d4d5fc65bdec2b3cef7679480422e818f352;p=thirdparty%2Fpublic-inbox.git

There's no point in duplicating --no-fsync documentation across
manpages.  --dangerous can be useful for reducing SSD wear, so
add a pointer to it as well.
