Previous version expose the output of the plumbing update-index to the
user, which novice users have difficulty to understand.

Can't -q(uiet) option of update-index be used for this?

No, since update-index -q doesn't set the exit status properly:

$ git update-index --ignore-submodules    --refresh  > /dev/null; echo $? 
1
$ git update-index --ignore-submodules -q --refresh             ; echo $?  
0
