Description

Hi,

I'm currently executing ipfs pin add -r <QmHash>. It's been running for hours and i have absolutely no clue if anything is happening at all!

I'm missing a "verbose" flag. I'm sure IPFS is doing all kinds of stuff right now that would be visible if i raised the logging level, but that might be too much information. I'd like to see logs targeted at the current pin action to have some clue of what's happening. Obviously only if i provide the hypothetical -v or --verbose flag.

Cheers, Mark
