I suppose that in the description of the unlessset attribute, 'not' should
be removed:
unlessset: the variable will be set unless the provided 'unlessset'
variable is set (Since 2.4)
Which is the same as your interpretation: variable will only be set if the
provided 'unlessset' variable is not set.

 Ivy docs: Settings Files: property has

 ifset:the variable will be set only if the provided 'ifset' variable
 is already set (Since 2.4)
 unlessset: the variable will not be set unless the provided 'unlessset'
 variable is set (Since 2.4)

 Doesn't that say that ifset and unlessset do the same thing?  Doesn't
 unlessset say, in effect,
 unlessset: the variable WILL NOT be set if the 'unlessset' variable IS NOT
 set,
 which is the same as saying,
 unlessset: the variable WILL be set if the 'unlessset' variable IS set,
 which is the same as ifset.

 Shouldn't it read
 unlessset the variable will only be set if the provided 'unlessset'
 variable is not set
 ?

Yes, it says the same thing.  However, if the wording of unlessset is made as 
close as possible to teh wording of ifset, the contrast between the two is made 
more obvious.

In fact you could use

ifset:the variable will be set only if the provided 'ifset' variable is 
already set (Since 2.4)
unlessset the variable will be set only if the provided 'unlessset' variable is 
not set (Since 2.4)
