Rsync 2.5.2 -v too verbose?

Martin has put in the below feature in rsync 2.5.2 for using a shell.  I've
already had one user complain about it.  I think it would be better at the
-vv level.  It also has occurred to me that there are probably scripts that
are parsing the verbose output of rsync that may get confused by this.

I noticed there's no corresponding message when connecting to an rsync
server daemon as he had suggested.  I think it should be consistent.
