Package: isync
Version: 1.1.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

There's currently three levels of verbosity for mbsync. Completely
quiet with -q, verbose by default and very verbose with -v.

With the default we get stuff like this:

,---
Selecting master debian/lists/devel...
Selecting slave debian/lists/devel...
Loading master...
Loading slave...
slave: 69111 messages, 15 recent
master: 69114 messages, 3 recent
Synchronizing...
M: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0  S: +3/3 *0/0 #0/0
`---

which is pretty verbose and repetitive. I'd like to see some more
compact output mode, that could be just the current default modified
or an additional verbosity level that either could be selected with a
command line or become the default with a new option to select the
preious default, any would do really.

For example, just to get the idea across, something like the following
would be more compact and readable to me, by using less vertical space
and not giving (seemingly) repeatitive information:

,---
Selecting master debian/lists/devel (69114 messages, 3 recent)...
Selecting slave debian/lists/devel (69111 messages, 15 recent)...
Synchronizing +0/0 *0/0 #0/0  S: +3/3 *0/0 #0/0
`---

I know this probably does not match with the actions in the code, and
the current progress messages correspond to specific steps in the
synchronization, but as an overview it would seem more helpful.

Thanks,
Guillem
