-Note that the names of the transferred files that are output are done using
-a default bf(--out-format) of "%n%L", which tells you just the name of the
-file and, if the item is a link, where it points. At the single bf(-v)
-level of verbosity, this does not mention when a file gets its attributes
-changed. If you ask for an itemized list of changed attributes (either
-bf(--itemize-changes) or adding "%i" to the bf(--out-format) setting), the
-output (on the client) increases to mention all items that are changed in
-any way. See the bf(--out-format) option for more details.
+In a modern rsync, the bf(-v) option is equivalent to the setting of groups
+of bf(--info) and bf(--debug) options. You can choose to use these newer
+options in addition to, or in place of using bf(--verbose), as any
+fine-grained settings override the implied settings of bf(-v). Both
+bf(--info) and bf(--debug) have a way to ask for help that tells you
+exactly what flags are set for each increase in verbosity.
+
+dit(bf(--info=FLAGS))
+This option lets you have fine-grained control over the
+information
+output you want to see. An individual flag name may be followed by a level
+number, with 0 meaning to silence that output, 1 being the default output
+level, and higher numbers increasing the output of that flag (for those
+that support higher levels). Use
+bf(--info=help)
+to see all the available flag names, what they output, and what flag names
+are added for each increase in the verbose level. Some examples:
+
+verb( rsync -a --info=progress2 src/ dest/
+ rsync -avv --info=stats2,misc1,flist0 src/ dest/ )
+
+Note that bf(--info=name)'s output is affected by the bf(--out-format) and
+bf(--itemize-changes) (bf(-i)) options. See those options for more
+information on what is output and when.
+
+This option was added to 3.1.0, so an older rsync on the server side might
+reject your attempts at fine-grained control (if one or more flags needed
+to be send to the server and the server was too old to understand them).
+
+dit(bf(--debug=FLAGS))
+This option lets you have fine-grained control over the
+debug
+output you want to see. An individual flag name may be followed by a level
+number, with 0 meaning to silence that output, 1 being the default output
+level, and higher numbers increasing the output of that flag (for those
+that support higher levels). Use
+bf(--debug=help)
+to see all the available flag names, what they output, and what flag names
+are added for each increase in the verbose level. Some examples:
+
+verb( rsync -avvv --debug=none src/ dest/
+ rsync -avA --del --debug=del2,acl src/ dest/ )
+
+This option was added to 3.1.0, so an older rsync on the server side might
+reject your attempts at fine-grained control (if one or more flags needed
+to be send to the server and the server was too old to understand them).
