Yeah, that's my view as well. I'm all for including it in verbose mode.

*Iff* we can get a progress indicator through the checkpoint we could include that in --progress mode. But that's a different patch, of course, but it shouldn't be included in the default output even if we find it.


I think it should show up in --progress mode.  It would be great if we could show fine-grained progress reports on the checkpoint, but if we can't do that we should still report as fine as we are able to, which is that a checkpoint is in progress. Otherwise we are setting the perfect as the enemy of the good.

Cheers,
