Way to hide/control dependency output in yarn upgrade/install?

What is the current behavior?

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

When running yarn upgrade or yarn install, it finishes up by printing out the dependencies. I can hide this with --silent, but that also hides other stuff like the nice progress view and the execution time. On a project with a lot of dependencies, this can mean a lot of junk getting printed out on every yarn upgrade.

What is the expected behavior?
There should be a way to hide the dependency information printed out after a yarn upgrade or yarn install.

Another option would be to only show what actually changed. Printing out the full dependency list when the upgrade doesn't even find any new versions of anything is kind of useless. If you do show the full list, then at least indicate the actual changes somehow, like the Ruby bundle update command.

A third option that is a bit off topic for the issue but would still cover my needs would be to have a flag that forces the full progress view in silent mode, or a way to hide specific log levels like info. Maybe a --advanced-progress or --no-log info flag would cover my use case.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

I completely agree. It's great that yarn tells me that the update involved 731 dependencies but there's no need to then go on printing every single one of them to the console.
