This conflicts with ``--repository-only`` as this mode + only makes sense if the archive checks are enabled. The full details of this mode + are documented below. - If checking a remote repo via ``ssh:``, the archive check is executed on the client machine because it requires decryption, and this is always done client-side as key access is needed. |
