[PATCH] transport: report missing submodule pushes consistently on stderr

[PATCH] transport: report missing submodule pushes consistently on stderr

[Stefan Beller]

The surrounding advice is printed to stderr, but the list of submodules
is not. Make the report consistent by reporting everything to stderr.

  This fixes one of the bugs mentioned in
  https://public-inbox.org/git/CAGZ79kbkyupBJfvyX3Hj_R5ZW36+3ufOnnLC-Dpic40nPJAxDA@mail.gmail.com/T/#t
  
  How to fix the other was not as obvious to me as I do not understand the
  philosophy on verbosity in the transport code.
  
  Thanks,
  Stefan

I had a look and I would say just enclose all the fprintf() inside a:

	if (transport->verbose > 0)

But then this is the first time I look at the code. I was about to send
a patch too but it will conflict with this one :)

Anyway, thanks for the quick fix to the inconsistent printing with
--quiet.

Well you can still send a patch :)

We have

    int verbose = (transport->verbose > 0);
    int quiet = (transport->verbose < 0);

So you're suggesting to only print these warnings when the
user asked for explicit verbose?

A few lines before the call to die_with_unpushed_submodules we have

     die ("Failed to push all needed submodules!");

which would also need a wrapping like

    if (quiet)
        return -1;
    else
        die(...);

Thanks,
Stefan

So we seem to have dropped the ball on the followup; this patch nevertheless
is a good idea?
