Subject: sync: shorten log messages by removing "info/sync remote:" prefix
X-Git-Url: https://ruderich.org/simon/gitweb/?p=safcm%2Fsafcm.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=35c082709bb4fae99e61debf65e146507f265fcc

sync: shorten log messages by removing "info/sync remote:" prefix

The prefix provides little value as it already obvious what's happening
on the remote side and in which phase (info/sync). Keeping the log
messages shorter helps the user to focus on the important parts of the
message.
