Ok. Lets patch this now and discuss that second override. We propably agree that this one is more important since we need to supress some messages from inner tasks. ----- >> a/ Lowering loglevel below project treshold (so allowing more messages to >> output) is nice for debugging just one task.

I'm trying this: large .build script and I'm working on one new task, e.g. ... <copy> ... I meet some problems, so I want to debug it. When I run #nant -debug I get 1000 lines and it's hard to find lines from mine copy task. So what about to have something like: ... <copy logLevel="debug"> ... and #nant -debug4000 means: default project level is 4000 (warning) so only warning and error messages outputs + all messages from mine copy task (override is allowed in -debug mode) just an idea to easier debugging... ----- Verbose property is another chapter since it already allow incresing verbosity above project level (it in fact increase level of message itself so it could go through logger threshold filter but it has the same effect). We should keep this functionality here IMHO. btw: logLevel is good enough name?
