I would disagree. "--verbose" is "do whatever you are told to do but you can enhance the result by giving more verbose output". To understand what I mean, compare "git verify-pack" (no other options) and "git verify-pack --verbose". Now, when you are asking the command to show the statistics only and nothing else, there may be nothing useful that you can output to enhance the "stat-only" output. "git verify-pack --stat-only" (no other options) and "git verify-pack --stat-only --verbose" can produce exactly the same result in such a case. So I do not see anything funny there. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
