--- Comment #12 from Nick Clemens <nick at bywatersolutions.com> ---
Blocker:
1 - There should be a commit option
2 - If a given record is not found we should let the user know:
given: perl misc/maintenance/update_authorities.pl --authid 1, 2 --merge
--reference 3 -v
result: 1 is merged, ' 2' is not found and ignored, no error

Suggestions:
Verbose should give more info:
-when merging list the reference that was used
 --would be nice to see the heading of the records if possible
-when renumbering would be nice to see the values that were changed
-when merging or deleting would be nice to get the records that were updated,
or a count
-when deleting a record we should let the user know if bibs are not modified
(because of AuthorityMergeLimit syspref) - I thought things were not working
until I dug in to code

I think all the verbosity would have to add error returns to the modules, so I
understand if it is out of the scope of this bug, but want to put the idea out
there at least
