    The updated docs match the implementation changes done in 3ac38058ce0e80a9f4276bfa82951decdb237e9a

    The updated docs tell about the default value of -changetype (i.e., legacy). And all the non-default behavior is implied by “else it is an implementation detail.” I especially like using this phrasing because:

    1. A non-tech savvy user wouldn’t like (or need) to know all the implementation details.
    2. A tech-savvy user is pointed in the right direction to find the details.
    3. Save precious space on the terminal when this text is displayed through –help command.

    Tested successfully on Ubuntu 20.04 using the command:

    ./src/bitcoin –help
