Re: [PATCH v3 0/3] config: add '--sources' option to print the source of a config value

I'm actually opposed to "--verbose" because it is too vague. That is
fine for a human, but this is also an interface that we expect scripts
to parse, and which we therefore cannot later change without breaking
them. I am not prepared to set "--verbose" in stone as showing the
source file and nothing else, for all time.

Me neither.  Thanks for clearly spelling out why using --verbose for
this is not such a good idea.
