Yes, -v is essentially useless today. I'll try to have more to share about
my proposed updates to that after the July 4 holiday.
One difficulty in all of this is that if, say, 2000 files are changing,
do you really want that dumped out to the screen while they are
changing? It may be that we need to write a nicely formatted log file
describing the changes somewhere (a "receipt" if you will), while
emitting a more concise summary to the screen.
