+## Error handling
+
+When performing an operation on a large amount of files, there can be temporary (server or network) issues causing errors on few files. While the errors are written to the terminal; one can use the `-e {filename}` option of `repocli` to save the errors to a text file `{filename}`.  This text file can be used to simplify the process of patching the operation.  The option is currently available for the `get`, `put`, `mget` and `mput` operations.
