[PATCH] -h output note addition: Testing of configuration can lead to a correction of path/file permissions

[Jörg Kost]

Hi Maxim,

still feel, that the -t switch behavior might be not so good documented. 
In some border cases this might not be the intention of running a test.

Currently it will log this things to the error file only on failure, but 
I am thinking of a more general approach -> always log?

Regards

Jörg
