make-archive: consider removing dangerous -v option
What is the use-case for this option? I'm afraid this option only leads to confusion and unexpected behaviour and I'd completely remove it.
Possible issues:
- only the archive is renamed, which doesn't really change the tarball structure (i.e. the directory inside archive still uses development version)
- it can lead to creation of non-existent versions, or using a development version when intending to use a released version
- when cache is used (default), it won't actually rename/recreate the development archive already created
Overall, this seems to be too much trouble for very little use/benefit.
