[Koha-patches] [PATCH] Reduce logging from rebuild_zebra.pl with a command line option

[Michael Hafen]

This is a good point, I didn't put much thought into which letter I used
for the command line switch.  I used -v because that what zebraidx uses
to alter the logging level.  Some other letter or default logging level
should be used.

I think it would be best, as you say, to have the logging reduced by
default and use the -v command line switch to have more verbose logging.
I'll change that and resubmit.

Thanks.
