More verbosity

[c . buhtz]

Hello,

I'm using xgettext (GNU gettext-tools) 0.21 in Debian 12. I have three 
issues influencing each other in the context of verbosity of xgettext.


1.
My primary problem is that xgettext doesn't tell me (on stdout) which 
source files it reads. For example:

    xgettext --verbose --output=message.pot common/*.py qt/*.py

The message.pot is generated but I don't see which py-files where 
involved.

I would like to have this output in "--verbose" or "--verbose --verbose" 
or whatever.

2.
The "--verbose" has no effect. No output is generated. Why then does 
this option exist?

3.
The manpage tell me that "--verbose" does "increase verbosity level". 
What is the limit of that level? Can I do "-vvvvvvvv"? Where is the 
limit. Mention that in the manpage please.

Kind
Christian Buhtz
