Patch does not apply, and I have reworded the last paragraph about
failures while operating.

Yes, that's a debate that we had during the discussion for the new
switches, and we have decided to use --check over --verify for the
default option.  On the one hand, "Check checksums" is rather
redundant, but that's more consistent with the option name.  "Verify
checksums" is perhaps more elegant.  My opinion is that having some
consistency between the option names and the docs is nicer.
