    Document that rt-dump-database only dumps configuration
    
    rt-dump-database only dumps configuration data from the database, not
    all data; this seems to be a common misconception (example:
    <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=603247>)

 When run without arguments, the database dump will only include 'local'
 configuration changes, i.e. those done manually in the web interface.
 
 When run with the argument '0', the dump will include all configuration
