Comment 6 for bug 76807

I'm afraid I didn't notice this bug closure, and I hope I won't be offending anyone by reopening it. The documentation explanation doesn't make sense to me, because not only is the repetition terribly confusing and unnecessary (having both lines uncommented makes it seem as though they are both doing something, etc), but it also appears that the comments explaining the lines are actually completely wrong. Setting ignoredups *already* ignores same successive entries. Setting ignoreboth adds ignorespace, which causes *lines beginning with spaces* to be ignored. If the intent is documentation, then the implementation is very poor, to the point of being a bug in itself.
