Re: git push --quiet option does not seem to work

Hi I am using 2.8.2.windows.1 and writing Powershell scripts doing

I have to use the --quiet option for git because it constantly outputs
progress to stderr.

However, it seems that --quiet does not actually work in git push. The
output still goes to stderr.
When there are changes committed to push it always outputs something
to stderr. If there is nothing to push, then it actually is silent.

Can you be more specific? It seems to work for me:

  $ rm -rf dst.git &&
    git init --bare -q dst.git &&
    git push dst.git
  Counting objects: 6, done.
  Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
  Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
  Writing objects: 100% (6/6), 441 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
  Total 6 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
  To dst.git
   * [new branch]      master -> master

  $ rm -rf dst.git &&
    git init --bare -q dst.git &&
    git push -q dst.git
  [no output]

Are you seeing progress reporting, the status table, or something else?
Are you using a particular protocol that might invoke a git-remote-*
helper that doesn't respect the quiet flag?
