Given an example like this in `multiline.log`:
```
2022-03-01T12:04:52: Here is a log message
  that spans multiple lines
2022-03-01T12:04:52: This is a single line
2022-03-01T12:04:52: Here is another message
  that spans multiple lines
```
You should be able to run something like this:
```
sqlite-utils insert /tmp/log.db log multiline.log --text --convert ""
import re

r = re.compile(r'^(?P<datetime>\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}):(?P<log>.*)', re.MULTILINE)

def convert(text):
    return [m.groupdict() for m in r.finditer(text)]
""
```
After running this I get:
```
sqlite-utils rows /tmp/log.db log
[{""datetime"": ""2022-03-01T12:04:52"", ""log"": "" Here is a log message""},
 {""datetime"": ""2022-03-01T12:04:52"", ""log"": "" This is a single line""},
