If majority of partial-clone users find it unnecessary noise, then it may be an upside to give only reduced summary that is less than full that may be given by `remote -v -v`. Worse downside of adding it as an option is that it invites more options. It is less worse to add new ones to `remote -v -v` (or to `remote -v`, or not adding it at all) than adding another option, I would think. Perhaps tagged output that can be easier to parse would be better "extensible" output format for adding more random pieces of information than going tabular. I dunno.
