There was a problem hiding this comment.
Proposing truncate since compact is already a verb attached to other functionality, and also we're deleting not squashing as the command was once envisioned.

What's Changing
This updates the
db vacatebook docs to match what was added in #6706.Why
The docs being replaced here pre-dated #6706 and were not an accurate representation of what was added.
Details
I'd have liked to include something about when certain
vacateattempts will be rejected such as shown in the bottom test in vacate.yaml. I'm told it has something to do with "common ancestors", but I'm struggling with the wording. If someone can propose the right text I'm game. Otherwise happy to leave for later.While running tests to write this, I spotted #6746.
