+<p>The new <tt>--trust-server-cert-failures</tt> option is intended to be used
+by scripts which for some reason must accept SSL certificates which fail
+validation for various reasons (e.g. expired certificates).</p>
+
+<p>If at all possible, fixing a certificate problem is preferable to using
+this option.</p>
+
+<p>The <tt>--trust-server-cert-failures</tt> option only works in conjunction with
+the <tt>--no-interactive</tt> option.</p>
+
+<p>Previous versions of Subversion in non-interactive mode could only ignore
+certificates with an unknown certificate authority, but expired or otherwise
+invalid SSL certificates could not be accepted.</p>
