"special" is a very subjective word.

Is there any other way to separate the "--list" of files (which are very
nicely machine parsable) from the "--progress" output, which is clearly
terminal oriented output and doesn't make sense to parse?

I couldn't find one, without using the logging conf.  Or foregoing one
of those two outputs.

PS: In case someone is wondering, I use the machine parsable output in a
few different ways, but the most common is telling me how much time I
spent on my different sub-projects during the past month/quarter etc.
(Where "number of times files in directory X have changed" is considered
loosely indicative of "time spent on project X").
