Comment:

 Please see branch `bug7896` in
 `https://git.torproject.org/user/asn/tor.git`.

 It makes:
 {{{
 [Notice] Learned fingerprint 844B1F53FFD548C998F8D3B01B7E19FA07C32222 for
 bridge 1.2.3.4:5678
 }}}
 look like:
 {{{
 [Notice] Learned fingerprint 844B1F53FFD548C998F8D3B01B7E19FA07C32222 for
 bridge 1.2.3.4:5678 (with transport 'obfs2').
 }}}

 The problem with this is that that line only appears if we did not know
 the fpr of the bridge beforehand. If we did know it, that log line will
 never appear and the user won't know that it connected to that bridge.
 Maybe we should create another log notice (or info) message that always
 appears when we manage to connect to a bridge?
