Thing of being able cut-n-paste the error message out of the log and
then being able to grep the source tree for it. i.e.

$ git grep "cannot change alignment: superblock does not support data alignment"

Will fail to find anything in the former case, but in the single
line case it will identify the file the error lies in immediately.
So the question I always ask myself is "is that format string easy
to find with grep?" :)

Cheers,

Dave.
