ISTM the consensus is that there should be no output in regular mode,
but a message should be displayed in verbose and progress mode.
So I went forth and also added a message in progress mode (unless
verbose messages are requested anyway).
Regarding the documentation, I tried to clarify the difference between
the checkpoint types a bit more, but I think any further action is
probably a larger rewrite of the documentation on this topic.
So attached are two patches, I've split it up in the documentation and
the code output part. I'll add it as one commitfest entry in the
"Clients" section though, as it's not really a big patch, unless
somebody thinks it should have a secon entry in "Documentation"?
