%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---
OSX 10.8.5
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

All 2.6 versions have this problem as far as I know

- Short description of error ---

The 'Subsurf Levels' option for the shrinkwrap modifier doesn't seem to do anything. Even in the manual it says so: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Modifiers/Deform/Shrinkwrap
So, obviously it's not implemented (and in my opinion should be removed from the interface) or it's broken.
If it is fixed, the description should also be more clear: the subdivision level of which object?

- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

Create a Monkey and subsurf it. Create a Cube and subsurf it. Then apply a shrinkwrap modifier to the Cube, with the Monkey as it's target. Change the Subsurf Levels option of the shrinkwrap. Nothing happens. Decrease or increase the subsurf levels of both objects and change the Subsurf Levels option again… still nothing. Also put the shrinkwrap above the subsurf modifier and change the Subsurf Levels option… nothing.

%%%It seems that the effect depends on shrinkwrap mode: There is no effect in the "nearest surface point" or "nearest vertex" modes, but with "project" i definitely see a difference. I'm not sure what the option is actually doing, but it could be that only the subsurf normals in project mode make a difference.%%%

%%%This option applies CC on the modified object before vertices gets projected and indeed doesn't make any effect in non-projection mode. Updated the documentation and commited tweak to the interface, so SS option only available when in Projection mode.%%%
