[PATCH 1/5] doc: clarify --no-track option

From: Jeff King <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:46:36
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

It is not really about ignoring the config option; it is
about turning off tracking, _even if_ the config option is
set.

Signed-off-by: Jeff King <redacted>

This I just noticed while working in the area, and it bothered me.
