smd-pull/push --dry-run way too verbose #6
Description
i have found smd-{pull,push} --dry-run to be quite useful before running the real thing, to figure out if my configuration is okay. this is how I found out that I had forgotten about subscribed folders (#2), for example.
unfortunately, there's a bit of a misfeature in that they will dump the whole list of files to be transfered, by default, on the console. this floods the scrollback buffer and makes it difficult to see the useful stats that precede the dump. for example here are the stats I get in my test setup:
default: smd-client@localhost: TAGS: stats::new-mails(97450), del-mails(0), bytes-received(0), xdelta-received(0)
100k emails! as you might imagine, that creates quite a dump... the resulting logfile is a 7MB text file! would it be possible to have some sort of environment variable or commandline flag to disable that display? I know that i can remove --dry-run to silence that stuff, but it'd still like to keep this in a simulation for now...
thanks!
