I could run the clone with 2>/dev/null, but I'd really like to get
mail when something breaks instead of it being totally silent.

I'm assuming this was an unintentional side-effect of some other recent change?
Yeah, I would assume so, too ;-)

Daniel, is this enough?  From re-reading the scripted version of
git-clone, it appears that we *might* need to squelch no-progress if the
stdout is not tty;  I do not offhand if you got that right when you
rewrote this in C.
This is probably enough for what people actually care about (when stdout 
isn't a tty and isn't /dev/null, people are likely to ask for "quiet" 
anyway, because this command's output isn't interesting after the fact). 
But no-progress is probably a good idea anyway.

Oh, and you're fixing the corresponding regressions in fetch, which nobody 
seems to have mentioned previously.
