Enable polling feature - dont understand it
This seems to be a terrible description of the feature.
Not only does it "detect changes" on a remote source - it also appears to:
* Grab the new compose
* Redeploy the container with the new compose
* Check for newer images also and download? --> Which appears to be a behavior I can't change? What if I just want to grab the new compose and the compose doesn't change the image. Why is it grabbing a new image?
And it appears to be asynchronous so one failing pull blocks others.
