Attachments

Hi, Hackers.
Thank you for developing a great feature.
The current help message shown below does not seem to be able to specify the 'client-' or 'server-' for lz4 compression.
 --compress = {[{client, server}-]gzip, lz4, none}[:LEVEL]

The attached small patch fixes the help message as follows:
 --compress = {[{client, server}-]{gzip, lz4}, none}[:LEVEL]

Regards,
Noriyoshi Shinoda

Hmm. OK. But I don't consider "can be optionally specified" incorrect or worse than "can optionally be specified".

I do agree that spelling words correctly is a good idea.
