+Known bugs
+==========
+
+If the first argument is a file but it doesn't exist, then the heuristic will
+fail and reprotest might give a confusing error message about "No <artifact>
+provided".
+
+If the first argument is a file then reprotest will copy its whole directory.
+Sometimes this is unsuitable, e.g. when it contains 3GB of other stuff.
+Also if this copying fails (e.g. because irrelevant files are not copyable due
+to permissions) then reprotest might give a confusing error message about that.
+
+These will be fixed soon.
