+    This plugin overrides the ``parallel`` option of coverage. Unless you also run coverage without pytest-cov it's
+    pointless to set those options in your ``.coveragerc``.
 
     If you use the ``--cov=something`` option (with a value) then coverage's ``source`` option will also get overridden.
     If you have multiple sources it might be easier to set those in ``.coveragerc`` and always use ``--cov`` (without a value)
