Can someone please explain me what does really mean that "Repetitive hits will be randomly chosen" in BWA samse?

the manual does not really specify

thanks

if a read maps multiple positions (hit) in the genome, only one position will be used.

ok thanks. Do you know how to tell bwa to do not randomly choose and to map all the multiple hit reads?
