So, that's why the "connecting" message belongs in the default setup
(it can hang there for minutes), IP and such technicalia
belong with -v, and -q would only print data on connection error.

How about a config option? So that people working with
repos connected through fast links (say, in local network or
even locally on the same system) are not bothered by the
"connecting" messages (they're is useless then, local networks
usually work).

Do you really have git servers accessed over a local lan or on local system?
I just use ssh in this case, and I think that's the common case ...

I think making it possible to make -q a config option would be useful, though.

We *could* try doing something smart with non-blocking connect + select,
and only print the message if it takes > 1 second. Are you
sure it's worth the complication?
