I don't think this change is good. If a command has a --no-whatever
flag, one expects the --whatever flag to exist too, even if it's a
no-op.

--no-verify exists, so

--verify exists too.

I think a better change would be to add a comment like

--verify)
	# no-op, exists because --no-verify exists too.
