It's not much > harder to do "git branch -lv" once that is in place. Well, it will take a while to (re-)take "-l". For the sake of consistency I wouldn't mind making "--verbose" strictly a "modifier" for whatever mode/subcommand of the command is going on, even though it would mean having to type "-v --list" for a long time. In general, -v/--verbose should always be like that, but is not (e.g. tag -v). This is in next now but no harm would be done changing it now.
