[PATCH 1/2] Add a quiet option to git merge

From: Iustin Pop <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:44:21
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Currently it's not possible to do quiet merges in case of no changes
because git merge always outputs the 'Already up to date' message.

This small patch adds a quiet option to git merge that in this case will
skip the output of this message.
