Martin Atkins	42e0985839	command: use -lock=false consistently in -help output ... Previously the docs for this were rather confusing because they showed an option to turn _on_ state locking, even though it's on by default. Instead, we'll now show -lock=false in all cases and document it as _disabling_ the default locking. While working on this I also noticed that the equivalent docs on the website were differently inconsistent. I've not made them fully consistent here but at least moreso than they were before.	5 years ago
Martin Atkins	874f1abb2b	cli+website: -ignore-remote-version docs and other cleanup ... We previously had only very short descriptions of what -ignore-remote-version does due to having the documentation for it inline on many different command pages and -help output. Instead, we'll now centralize the documentation about this argument on the remote backend page, and link to it or refer to it from all other locations. This then allows us to spend more words on discussing what Terraform normally does _without_ this option and warning about the consequences of using it. This continues earlier precedent for some local-backend-specific options which we also don't recommend for typical use. While this does make these options a little more "buried" than before, that feels justified given that they are all "exceptional use only" sort of options where users ought to learn about various caveats before using them. While there I also took this opportunity to fix some earlier omissions with the local-backend-specific options and a few other minor consistency tweaks.	5 years ago
Martin Atkins	6f35c2847b	command: Reorganize docs of the local backend's legacy CLI options ... We have these funny extra options that date back to before Terraform even had remote state, which we've preserved along the way by most recently incorporating them as special-case overrides for the local backend. The documentation we had for these has grown less accurate over time as the details have shifted, and was in many cases missing the requisite caveats that they are only for the local backend and that backend configuration is the modern, preferred way to deal with the use-cases they were intended for. We always have a bit of a tension with this sort of legacy option because we want to keep them documented just enough to be useful to someone who finds an existing script/etc using them and wants to know what they do, but not to take up so much space that they might distract users from finding the modern alternative they should consider instead. As a compromise in that vein here I've created a new section about these options under the local backend documentation, which then gives us the space to go into some detail about the various behaviors and interactions and also to discuss their history and our recommended alternatives. I then simplified all of the other mentions of these in command documentation to just link to or refer to the local backend documentation. My hope then is that folks who need to know what these do can still find the docs, but that information can be kept out of the direct path of new users so they can focus on learning about remote backends instead. This is certainly not the most ideal thing ever, but it seemed like the best compromise between the competing priorities I described above.	5 years ago
