Am I correct that this will produce progress output? If git-daemon runs
receive-pack, then this output will go to the syslog. Do we care?

We do, and we don't want that.  Thanks for spotting.

Would adding "--quiet" to the mix be enough?

Actually I don't know.  This originally came from "we _could_ add gc and
update-server-info to hundreds of post-receive hooks, but any repository
hosting site that holds many central repositories will exactly have the
same issue, so why not do this internally", so it may make sense to do
exactly the same thing as what we do to the output from hooks.  What do we
do to them now?  stdout-to-stderr?
