By this I imagine you mean that one should specify --progress=none to get the current behavior, and the default will be to show a progress bar when -nv is specified? I wonder whether this break from historical behavior is likely to be a problem? I imagine non-interactive uses probably specify -q if they don't want verbosity, but maybe I'm wrong... What should happen with -nv if output is not to a tty? Should it then automatically behave as if --progress=none were specified? -mjc
