What is weird is that the only change has been to move this from
run_build.pl into PGBuild::Options::fetch_options. Those two lines have
been in run_build.pl for many years:

2cdd46ae    (Andrew Dunstan 2004-09-24 20:22:32 +0000   111)$verbose=1
if (defined($verbose) && $verbose==0);
4307d647    (Andrew Dunstan 2005-12-23 16:55:53 +0000   112)$verbose ||=
0; # stop complaints about undefined var in numeric comparison

and the lines you showed come from run_build.pl.

The rationale for the move was to make the flag sanely available to
other programs, specifically run_branches.pl.

So it's very odd. I'll do some experimenting.

cheers
