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	ed121321c6	website: Revamp the "terraform state mv" page My original motivation here was to add the previously-missing -dry-run option to the list of options However, while in the area I noticed that this command hasn't had a documentation refresh for a while and so I took the opportunity to update it to match with our current writing style and terminology used in other parts of the documentation, and so I've rewritten prose elsewhere on the page to hopefully give the same information in a way that fits in better with concepts discussed elsewhere in the documentation, and also to try to add some additional context to connect this information with what we've described in other places. This rewrite also drops the example of moving from one "state file" to another, because that's a legacy usage pattern that isn't supported when using remote backends, and we recommend most folks to use remote backends so it's strange to show an example that therefore won't work for most people. Rather than adding additional qualifiers to that example I chose to just remove it altogether, because we've generally been working to de-emphasize these legacy local backend command line options elsewhere in the documentation.	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
