Right.
If you want to diff two logs, you need to pass -j1 option.

But, my main motivation is not that.
You will be able to find the log of boards you are interested in.

For example, when some boards are listed in "suspicious results"
at the end of conversion, you may want to check the log
to see what happened.  If the log is sorted *almost* alphabetically,
it will be easier to jump there.
