But when we have to add --quiet to all sorts of commands that may be the sign that they really are too chatty.

If I want a short output I don't want to type extra options. So adding a --verbose for those that really depend on more output makes more sense, IMHO. (Even when I don't see any useful information in the git-rm output, to be honest.)
