CheckPrevCheckout is described as a simple on/off setting. But reading the commit message shows there is more to it: 

- Per patron category pref allows libraries to create overrides per
  category, falling back on the global setting by default.
- Per patron pref allows switching the functionality on at the level
  of patron. Fall-back to category settings by default.

As far as I can tell, the per patron category and per patron prefs/settings appear based on what CheckPrevCheckout is set to.

I just sent in a merge request to the manual for this.
