Description

Maven ConsoleMavenTransferListener adds too much verbose logs, Which is not required in all the cases and most of the time people uses it ( ConsoleMavenTransferListener by default)

It causes little overhead,

For example: in CI build it adds those logs which is not required all the time, also (in my case) it triggers the build of a very large maven project tree at each 10 min adding lots of logs on disk

Also there are other people who wants this feature as well

I know there is a -q but which gets very quiet, so it would be nice if we are able to just quiet transfer logs

I modified maven source to hide those log based on the parameter and using it successfully

I have attached the patch here which was applied against 3.1-SNAPSHOT specifically at revision : 1495788

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/maven-3/trunk

added new parameter

-qtl

to make quiet transfer log

If I overlooked anything and did over engineering please let me know,

Otherwise I would love to see this option in next release

Thanks!
