.SH NAME
testcurl.pl \- (automatically) test curl
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B testcurl.pl [options] [dir] > output
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fItestcurl.pl\fP is the master script to use for automatic testing of curl
-off CVS or daily snapshots. It is written for the purpose of being run from a
+off git or daily snapshots. It is written for the purpose of being run from a
crontab job or similar at a regular interval. The output is suitable to be
mailed to curl-autocompile@haxx.se to be dealt with automatically (make sure
the subject includes the word "autobuild" as the mail gets silently discarded
-otherwise). The most current build status (with a resonable backlog) will be
+otherwise). The most current build status (with a reasonable backlog) will be
published on the curl site, at http://curl.haxx.se/auto/
\fIoptions\fP may be omitted. See \fI--setup\fP for what happens then.
.IP "--configure=[options]"

+.IP "--nobuildconf"
+Don't run buildconf. Useful when many builds use the same source tree, as then
+only one need to do this. Also, if multiple processes run tests simultaneously
+on the same source tree (like several hosts on a NFS mounted dir),
+simultaneous buildconf invokes may cause problems. (Added in 7.14.1)
+.IP "--nogitpull"
+Don't update from git even though it is a git tree. Useful to still be able to
test even though your network is down, or similar.
+.IP "--runtestopts=[options]"
+Options that is passed to the runtests.pl script. Useful for disabling valgrind
+by force, and similar.
.IP "--setup=[file name]"
File name to read setup from (deprecated). The old style of providing info.
If info is missing when testcurl.pl is started, it will prompt you and then
store the info in a 'setup' file, which it will look for on each invoke. Use
-\fI--name\fP, \fI--emacs\fP, \fI--configure\fP and \fI--desc\fP instead.
