From dced00be29775965a45c7889ca99e19b96d9e4d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Geoghegan <pg@bowt.ie> Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2018 22:38:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Adjust _bt_insertonpg() comments. Remove an obsolete reference to the 'afteritem' argument, which was removed by commit bc292937. Add a comment that clarifies how _bt_insertonpg() indirectly handles the insertion of high key items.
