One issue with the -q option is that when there an error, the name of
the folder is not shown in the error message. So whenever the output
of -q shows some errors, I have to run the thing again without -q just
to be able to read the line above the error message (and browse through
lots of output for the stuff that just works).

So without adding a new option, it's still possible to improve the output
(especially when things don't work as expected).
