+        checkIncrement was introduced in the SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy in
+        logback 1.3.6/1.4.6 as an Integer representing milliseconds. In logback
+        1.3.12/1.4.12, it was changed to a Duration, also accepting a unit.
+        Without a given unit, milliseconds are assumed. The logback manual is
+        misleading: In logback 1.5.8, checkIncrement is no longer used for the
+        SizeAndTimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy, but it is still used for
+        the SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy!
+        In prior versions of logback, setting this option has no effect.
