[Borgbackup] How to get the old -v behavior back?

Hi,

in borgbackup 0.29 and earlier, borg create -v listed the files being
processed on standard output, one per line, scrolling, so that one
could scroll back through the log and see what happened.

Borgbackup 0.30 does not list the file names any more, since the
meaning of the --verbose switch was changed, and --verbose --progess
now avoids scrolling by tabbing back on the same line and trying to
pretty-print the output, losing the ability to scroll back in the
process.

I have tried a number of command line switch combinations to get the
old behavior back, but have not succeeded.

Is there a possibility to get the old behavior back?

If not, I will file an issue about that to either add another command
line switch for the old behavior or to detect whether standard output
is a terminal and if not, do not try fancy games with the terminal.

Thanks for helping!

Greetings
Marc
