Yes, it would be possible, but it would require going through and
reformatting each of the 77 FERROR_XFER messages individually and would
make a few of them less readable (e.g., "link A => B failed" would
become "B: link from A failed").  Another option would be to print an
additional "failed to propagate B" message after a failure of any kind
on file B, and your script could just match those messages.

It's not clear to me what you are proposing.  First, are you referring
to a push or a pull?
