+valid value(s) for `toolType` right now is `repo`. It can be left blank to
 default to `repo`.
 
+The plugin supports the following options:
+
+*  `recordSubmoduleLabels` (defaults to false). Sets recordSubmoduleLabels
+   setting for JGit's RepoCommand
+
+*  `ignoreRemoteFailures = true` (defaults to false). Sets ignoreRemoteFailures.
+   Setting it true will cause repos that are not accessible to be ignored.
+
+
 For the destination branch, you may also specify `*` to copy all
 branches in the manifest repository.
