Issue body
(humble opinion, no offense :)
I think that snapcraft-parser without --debug should just print a summary of what it's doing.
Start by saying something like: Parsing the index at ...
Then:
Processing part '1'
Processing part '2'
Already up-to-date.
Processing part '3'
Finally:
Writing parts list to 'snap-parts.yaml'
When you pass -d, it should print more info about each processed part:
Cloning into '/tmp/qt5conf'...
remote: Counting objects: 5, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done.
remote: Total 5 (delta 0), reused 3 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
Unpacking objects: 100% (5/5), done
What is happening now is the opposite. The processing message are only shown on -d. The cloning stuff is shown always.
