Yes, it resets the local cache to zero, meaning that all remote
files will be overwritten. The only other alternative is to set the
cache to "full" meaning that only changes from now on will be
overwritten, or to initialise the cache from the remote, losing all
local changes.

But my mind's not set on grave. I'd be happy if you thought this was
important only.
