I've not looked at 2.5 code, but in earlier versions it was near the
beginning of "client-src/sendbackup-gnutar.c" (about line 50).
Lines of the form:

  AM_NORMAL_RE("XXXX"),

can be added to the table.   XXXX would be replaced with an appropriate
Regular Expression specifying the message to consider "normal".  That is
a comma at the end of the macro.
