Issue body
Clarify the relationship between `--verbose` and `--verbosity`.
Previously the help text for `--verbose` was ambiguous when used together
with `--verbosity`. This change clarifies that `--verbose` is equivalent
to `--verbosity=verbose`.
The related unit test has been updated accordingly.
