Description
Hi,
I think --verbose should print out the executed command (I did it quite by mistake for git commands and it was quite informative) and also their outputs (that's how I saw the --no-hardlinks issue).
I'm sure there are other interesting areas to be verbose about but those were the pain points I had.
Thankfully ruby allows to edit gem's source code which is of great help but shouldn't be needed in most situations IMHO.
Thanks.
