I think it is a good idea to document this, but I have a few quibbles
with the patch as it is:

- I think there shouldn't be commas after the "note" and before the "if".
Disclaimer: I am not a native speaker, so I am lacking authority.

- The assertion is wrong. "on" (remote flush) is perfectly fine
for synchronous_commit, only "remote_apply" is a problem.

- There is already something about "--synchronous" in the "Description"
section. It might make sense to add the additional information there.

How about the attached patch?

Yours,
Laurenz Albe
