Considering how much bloat -v adds, adding a datestamp to it is trivial.
-v outputs things like:
--
-- TOC entry 1449 (class 0 OID 0)
-- Dependencies: 4
-- Name: public; Type: ACL; Schema: -; Owner: postgres
--
so adding a timestamp at the top is probably a good extension.
Actually, the pg_dump -v docs are incorrect because they only mention
additional stderr output, not the additional comments. I updated the
text to:
Specifies verbose mode. This will cause
<application>pg_dump</application> to output detailed object
comments in the dump file, and progress messages to standard error.
This -v functionality controlling comments is new in 7.5.
