This is a follow up from ticket:26583, which is about the verbosity of the
skipped files. There was a PR discussion on that ticket which proposed
that the output of collectstatic --clear is too verbose.
Currently it lists a message for every file deleted. It would be a better
experience if it instead only showed a summary at verbosity1. The current
behaviour could be moved to verbosity 2 and above.
There is the bases for a patch as part of the
[[
https://github.com/django/django/pull/19574|PR work on the other
ticket]], but it was removed from that PR to keep its scope more focused.
If this is accepted I can quickly do the git work necessary to create a PR
with those changes.
The summary would change to something like:
>10 static files deleted, 10 files copied
