Previous versions (<v1.5) used debug, info, warning and error strings when setting the log level via:
% velero version -v {debug, info, warning, error}

This is also the understanding from the team - see below.

In 1.5, the help is looking for a number:
% velero help
-v, --v Level number for the log level verbosity

If I enter:
% velero version -v debug

I get the following error which shows it is trying to convert from string to int:
An error occurred: invalid argument "debug" for "-v, --v" flag: strconv.ParseInt: parsing "debug": invalid syntax

My thoughts on the issue are:

1. revert back to debug, info, warning, error strings in the code and modify help
2. modify help to define a min/max/default integer log level and what level corresponds to debug, info, warning, error (i.e. level 0=info, level 10 = debug, default level = x, etc)

I did the following and did not notice a change in log level from 0-5. I noticed an increase at level 6 and also at level 10.
