Bleck. I already think we're too chatty here (especially with progress
enabled). And I generally don't want users who are not using phases
(because they're using rebase or mq today) to have to know or care about
them at all. If an existing user upgrades they shouldn't have to think
"wait what?? what is a phase? omg this dvcs crap is so complicated!"

I think having a one-line message with -v is fine.
