Description

Currently the alpha-8 version of Maven only reports the missing .mvn directory only if I activate the debugging output:

[DEBUG] Unable to find the root directory. Create a .mvn directory in the root directory or add the root="true" attribute on the root project's model to identify it.
Apache Maven 4.0.0-alpha-8 (a2cbf4873a99c1aca7e3908086fe53b17865f07a)
Maven home: /Users/khm/tools/maven
Java version: 22-ea, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /Users/khm/.sdkman/candidates/java/22.ea.20-open
Default locale: en_DE, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "14.0", arch: "aarch64", family: "mac"

None debug output:

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Reactor Build Order:
...

The question is: Should it be reported in usual output or not? Or only in debug mode? I would say report it not only in DEBUG mode.
