 /**
  * Provides entity revision destination plugin.
  *
+ * Refer to the parent class for configuration keys:
+ * \Drupal\migrate\Plugin\migrate\destination\EntityContentBase
+ *
+ * Entity revisions can only be migrated after the entity to which the revisions
+ * belong has been migrated. For example, revisions of a given content type can
+ * be migrated only after the nodes of that content type have been migrated.
+ *
+ * In order to avoid revision ID conflicts, make sure that the entity migration
+ * also includes the revision ID. If the entity migration did not include the
+ * revision ID, the entity would get the next available revision ID (1 when
+ * migrating to a clean database). Then, when revisions are migrated after the
+ * entities, the revision IDs would almost certainly collide.
+ *
+ * The examples below contain simple node and node revision migrations. The
+ * examples use the EmbeddedDataSource source plugin for the sake of
+ * simplicity. The important part of both examples is the 'vid' property, which
+ * is the revision ID for nodes.
+ *
+ * Example of 'article' node migration, which must be executed before the
+ * 'article' revisions.
