Clarification needed on replication frequency settings

[Bron Gondwana]

Nicola reminded me to reply to this!  Yes, the actual is 1 :)  Please do correct that.

    There seems to be a conflict between documentation and code in
    regards to the settings for replication frequency.  Specifically,
    cyrus-imapd/lib/imapoptions has this:
>> { "sync_repeat_interval", *1*, INT }
/* Minimum interval (in seconds) between replication runs in rolling
replication mode. If a replication run takes longer than this   time, we
repeat immediately.   Prefix with a channel name to only apply for that
channel */
> which would seem to indicate that the default is 1 second.
    Meanwhile, sync_client(8) has this:
>> .. option:: -d delay

    Minimum delay between replication runs in rolling replication mode.
    Larger values provide better efficiency as transactions can be
    merged. Smaller values mean that the replica system is more up to
    date and that you don't end up with large blocks of replication
    transactions as a single group. Default: *3 seconds*.

>> int   timeout  = 600;
    int   min_delta = 0; const char *channel = NULL; ...    case 't':
    timeout = atoi(optarg);        break;

        case 'd':    min_delta = atoi(optarg);    break; ... else {
        /* rolling replication */    if (!sync_shutdown_file)
        sync_shutdown_file = get_config(channel, "sync_shutdown_file");

            if (!min_delta)    min_delta = get_intconfig(channel,
            "sync_repeat_interval");

            do_daemon(channel, sync_shutdown_file, timeout,
            min_delta); }
