[Borgbackup] italics meaning in the log?

[Howard Spindel]

Thank you for the reply, Thomas.

Apparently in my first post the formatting was not preserved by this 
mailing list.  /home/howard below in the second line is indeed italicized.

The logs I am viewing with italics are those sent to me by cron 
executing borg.

I tried running borg from the command line instead of from cron, and added
 >> /logDirectory/logfile 2>&1
to the command line, but nothing is written to the log file.

However, when running from the command line I did watch borg's output go 
by, and nothing was italicized.  Apparently cron is deciding to 
italicize somehow.  Can't figure this out.

My theory, based on what was italicized, is that the italics indicated 
files that changed while borg was backing them up.
