 ``update.check``
     Determines what level of checking :hg:`update` will perform before moving
     to a destination revision. Valid values are ``abort``, ``none``,
-    ``linear``, and ``noconflict``. ``abort`` always fails if the working
-    directory has uncommitted changes. ``none`` performs no checking, and may
-    result in a merge with uncommitted changes. ``linear`` allows any update
-    as long as it follows a straight line in the revision history, and may
-    trigger a merge with uncommitted changes. ``noconflict`` will allow any
-    update which would not trigger a merge with uncommitted changes, if any
-    are present.
