Details

Summary

Depends on D20433. Ref T13277. Since "Autoclose" no longer exists, update the documentation.

Currently, this documentation focuses a lot on troubleshooting because users historically had a lot of trouble with figuring out why things were or were not autoclosing. I haven't seen any real confusion about this in years, so I suspect we may have improved the import pipeline and/or UI to make this less of a problem.

It's also possible that this document "fixed" the problem, but usually I expect a documentation fix to not affect the frequency of reports, just make them easier to resolve, so I doubt it.

If unclear things remain and documentation really did fix it, maybe we can fix the issues. Or we can just put the troubleshooting documentation back.

Should this explain that the revisions also need to belong to permanent refs? Or is that too far afield to explain right here?

We should include git note pushes as an example, because we had to learn about them and now everyone else should be forced to suffer as well.

I think this will get a separate rewrite somewhat soon, although maybe as part of T13098.
