Improve "Loading settings from <name>.sbt" messaging

See original GitHub issue

steps

Load a build, for instance the Akka build

problem

Notice the loading log:

[info] Loading settings from build.sbt ...
[info] Loading settings from build.sbt ...

[info] Loading settings from build.sbt ...
[info] Loading settings from build.sbt ...
[info] Loading settings from build.sbt ...

(those are distinct build.sbt files in different projects of the build)

expectation

I expect to better understand what sbt’s loading is doing, perhaps using base directory relative paths:

[info] Loading settings from build.sbt ...
[info] Loading settings from akka-actor/build.sbt ...
[info] Loading settings from akka-actor-tests/build.sbt ...

[info] Loading settings from akka-typed-testkit/build.sbt ...
[info] Loading settings from akka-typed-tests/build.sbt ...

notes

sbt version: 1.0.2

Note we should do this for user-global files and meta-build files:

[info] Loading settings from global-plugins.sbt,idea.sbt ...
[info] Loading global plugins from /Users/dnw/.dotfiles/.sbt/1.0/plugins
[info] Loading settings from plugins.sbt ...
[info] Loading project definition from /d/akka/project

I recently renamed my ~/.sbt/1.0/plugins/plugins.sbt to ~/.sbt/1.0/plugins/global-plugins.sbt and ~/.sbt/1.0/build.sbt to ~/.sbt/1.0/global.sbt to workaround this problem.

@alodavi The Akka build has dropped the various build.sbt files, so I’ve created the problem in a mini setup and pushed to GitHub: https://github.com/dwijnand/t-multi-project-build.sbts
