So, for example, do we need to print out the contents of the files or what is being copied to what? Or can it literally just be no output at all if the verbose option isn't given.

There's no required *format* for any of the verbose output, and it will be ignored during the automatic marking, but the project sheet does say "The -v option requests that mysync be more verbose in its output, reporting its actions to stdout." So make sure that it prints *something* (meaningful), and it will be less likely to confuse the markers who'll like to see that something is working.
