you're the original author of the code touched by this patch. Is the
second -q option really a simple copy-and-paste of the first or am I
overlooking something here? I'd like to confirm this as, in retrospect,
I feel a bit uncertain about the hasty claim in the log message.
It was a while ago and I don't remember the details of this patch I'm
afraid, but your rationale here looks sensible to me. I tend to find git too
noisy by default rather than too quiet, so it wouldn't surprise me if I
never thought to try the --verbose version.
Cheers,
