I think I agree with this.

I think that should only be printed if there isn't something else that
--verbose turns on.

Any tree of python files, or a C/C++ tree which builds in place is going
to have *lots* of ignored files (in general, 1 for each source file).
Now if -v does nothing other than turn this on, I think it would be okay
since 90% of the time, people won't use --verbose. But if verbose prints
out something else which people would want to see, I think we would be
printing far too much garbage for them to sort through.

If we ever have a --very-verbose flag. I think you could certainly turn
it on for that.
