Description
At https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/django-admin/#cmdoption-verbosity, the short form of the flag is incorrectly prefixed with two dashes.
The usage output for the command shows only one (and fails with two):
$ python manage.py sqlmigrate --v 3 <app> <migration>
usage: manage.py sqlmigrate [-h] [--version] [-v {0,1,2,3}]
                            [--settings SETTINGS] [--pythonpath PYTHONPATH]
                            [--traceback] [--no-color] [--database DATABASE]
                            [--backwards]
                            app_label migration_name
manage.py sqlmigrate: error: ambiguous option: --v could match --verbosity, --version
