If the convention is "GIT_QUIET, when set to non-empty string, squelches
the output", then I think the callers should be more consistent and the
call to prune-packed should say something like this, which is admittedly a
roundabout way:
git prune-packed ${GIT_QUIET:+-q}
for consistency (and then what you set to GIT_QUIET in the first hunk I
quoted does not matter anymore---it can even be t or 1 or whatever).
I think this does not matter too much, because I suspect that in the
longer term scripted Porcelains are going away, but still...
What I meant was that my _style_ comment does not matter too much. The
addition of "quiet" _is_ a worthwhile thing to do, I think.
