We could address that issue by outputting an eyecatching string at the start of each -v output line. E.g.,:

  + src/mv -v /tmp/mv-test .
  :;:; mkdir './mv-test'
  :;:; cp '/tmp/mv-test/file' './mv-test/file'
  :;:; rm '/tmp/mv-test/file'
  :;:; rmdir '/tmp/mv-test'
  + src/mv -v mv-test mv-test-2
  :;:; mv 'mv-test' 'mv-test-2'


or substitute something even more eyecatching for ":;:;".
