More appropriate: "Add long option --verbose".
Even as a long option, it is not new. There have been plenty "--verbose"s
in git before.
It might appear to you as a minor nit, but reading commit logs it is
pretty disruptive to read about the "new" option and wondering "why the
heck was it not there before? Ah, it was. The committer just added the
long version of the option".
Ciao,
Dscho
