     * Which of these levels is the right one for a certain message
     * is a somewhat subjective choice. Here is a definition how they
     * are supposed to be used:
     * - error: severe problem which the user and developer have to
     *          know about
     * - warning: a problem that was handled, but users and developers
     *            probably will want to know about
     * - info: information about a sync session which the user
     *         will want to read during/after each sync session
     * - developer: information about a sync session that is not
     *              interesting for a user (for example, because it
     *              is constant and already known) but which should
     *              be in each log because developers need to know
     *              it. Messages logged with this calls will be included
     *              at LOG_LEVEL_INFO, therefore messages should be small and
     *              not recur so that the log file size remains small.
     * - debug: most detailed logging, messages may be arbitrarily large
     *
     * Here is a decision tree which helps to pick the right level:
     * - an error: => ERROR
     * - a non-fatal error: => WARNING
     * - it changes during each sync or marks important steps
     *   in the sync: INFO
     * - small, non-recurring message which is important for developers
     *   who read a log produced at LOG_LEVEL_INFO: DEVELOPER
     * - everything else: DEBUG
