[PATCH] wc-metadata.sql - more doc strings

From: Julian Foad <julianfoad_at_btopenworld.com>
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:09:53 +0000

Bert, Greg, Hyrum, etc. - please see below several more suggested doc
updates/fixes/questions. Please comment, and please feel free to commit
the ones that are good or use them as starting points for better
updates.

(I'm not so much trying to get patches committed, I'm trying to get
folks to understand and agree on the definitions. I'm open to other
suggestions on how to go about it if this doesn't feel the best way.)

- Julian

[[[
*
  (BASE_NODE, WORKING_NODE, ACTUAL_NODE): Tweak doc strings on
    several columns. One particular change is to say "is null when
    ..." to avoid the ambiguity of "may be null when ...".
