Should --quiet also affect this "Updating %s" line?

Actually, I have often wished for a way to shut up this line but keep
fetch at its normal verbosity.  Fetch very sanely says nothing if there
is nothing to update, but you still get this "Updating" junk line, even
if nothing is transferred. But that would probably need an extra
"--quiet-remote" option to handle separately from what we pass to fetch.
