+Detailed description of "rsync_failure_codes"
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+If you have the file `rsync_failure_codes` in your source configuration
+directory, it should contain a newline-separated list of numbers representing
+rsync exit codes.  If rsync exits with any code in this list, a marker will
+be left in the destination directory indicating failure of this backup.  If
+you have enabled delete_incomplete, then this backup will be deleted during
+the next ccollect run on the same interval.
+
+Detailed description of "mtime"
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+By default, ccollect.sh chooses the most recent backup directory for cloning or
+the oldest for deletion based on the directory's last change time (ctime).
+With this option, the sorting is done based on modification time (mtime).  With
+this version of ccollect.sh, the ctime and mtime of your backups will normally
+be the same and this option has no effect.  However, if you, for example, move
+your backups to another hard disk using cp -a or rsync -a, you should use this
+option because the ctimes are not preserved during such operations.
+
+If you have any backups in your repository made with ccollect version 0.7.1 or
+earlier, do not use this option.
+
+Detailed description of "quiet_if_down"
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+By default, ccollect.sh emits a series of error messages if a source is not
+connectable.  With this option enabled, ccollect.sh still reports that the
+source is not connectable but the associated error messages generated by
+rsync or ssh are suppressed.  You may want to use this option for sources,
+like notebook PCs, that are often disconnected.
