Bug Description
As per:
http://
"I would imagine that a more readily understandable syntax would be a duplicity "verify" command with just one argument (duplicity verify ... source_url), and another duplicity "compare" command that would take two arguments (duplicity compare ... source_url target_directory [--compare-data]) and compare backup against the target_directory's files size/date and optionally content (when used with --compare-data)."
I agree. I am about to do some work on the command line parsing side (Bug #1480565), so can add this to my list.
As ede said in that thread, the verify command has evolved unhelpfully over time and the need for a target in verify is a hangover from that.

Obviously backwards compatibility for a period will be crucial.
