We'd actually see the '---- Remote trigger message ----' lines?

If so, there is value in having the ability to display the hostname and
perhaps the repo (which is may be discernable already, I forget).  Some
of us fire triggers on multiple remote machines.

How about a way to disable the output (on a per-machine basis)?

Would it be difficult to use a template for this output?

With a template, one could:

- decide what, if anything, should be output
- decide the format of the messages, eg:
- - %H is the hostname
- - %R is the repo
- - %T is the trigger name
- ways to test values to choose what should be output based on:
- - error status
- - environment variables
- - output of shell commands

This is off the top of my head, and I've been *fully* engaged in a
(technically-challenging) short-term contract for the past 2 months'
time and I have done nothing more than normal/simple bk stuff for the
past 6 (or so) months' time.
