Just found a small bug, it's not really important but it might be good to put it into the docs. The use case is a bit weird because the user doesn't want Jigoshop to manage the stock but does want to use the backorder functionality.

Use Case:

User has handle stock unticked, and item runs out of stock.

User ticks handle stock checkbox and selects Allow, but notify Customer and saves. This shows some text in the front end telling the customer that the products is available on backorder and allows them to add to cart etc

Item comes back into stock so the user unchecks handle stock for me and sets the item to in stock. This just hides the backorder stuff but keeps the values in the database so the backorder text is still printed out in the front end.
