First, I'm compelled to thank Andy Wardley and the others who have spent so
much time
developing Template Toolkit.
When I run ttree, there are two levels of verbosity:
report everything in distracting detail
report only errors
What I'd like most of the time is a middle position -- report only newly created
directories and files, modified files, and errors. As it is, I run with
verbose set, and
then scroll back to see which messages have a "+" next to them to confirm what
changed.
On one website that I maintain, there is a folder of jpg's which simply get
copied, so 90%
of the status lines are ' - images/foo.jpg (not modified)'.
Locally I've made an ugly patch to add a new flag, "minverbose". Here is the
patch for my
two minute quick and dirty fix:

Ideally patch will be ignored and someone more capable will come up with a
better
solution. For instance, it might be better to generalize the "verbose" flag.
By default
"verbose" would default to max verbosity for compatibility, but if you followed
it with a
decimal number, then it would set the verbosity level.
verbose 0 # off; same as not specifying verbose at all
verbose 1 # only the essentials, like my minverbose flag
verbose 2 # more verbose, etc
verbose # maximum
Perhaps only 0/1/infinity are needed.
Thanks
