 With the attached patch we delegate the string formatting to the logger
 instead of doing it ourselves.
 Advantages:
 a) It's more robust: Constructs like 'debug("foo %r bar" % x)' are quite
 common in our code and will break if x is a tuple. 'debug("foo %r bar",
 x)' will work regardless of the type of x.
 b) formatting only happens if we actually log something.

 I haven't measured the impact of b) because a) is much more important to
 me (happened a lot of times during the object_id => (tree_id, version_id)
 conversion). At least one project has asked for pylint to flag these
 occurences and gave performance as a reason for the change, though (so
 they mave have measured it).
