I'm afraid I didn't notice this bug closure, and I hope I won't be
offending anyone by reopening it. The documentation explanation doesn't
make sense to me, because not only is the repetition terribly confusing
and unnecessary (having both lines uncommented makes it seem as though
they are both doing something, etc), but it also appears that the
comments explaining the lines are actually completely wrong. Setting
ignoredups *already* ignores same successive entries. Setting ignoreboth
adds ignorespace, which causes *lines beginning with spaces* to be
ignored. If the intent is documentation, then the implementation is very
poor, to the point of being a bug in itself.
