Hello,

when using git in scripts I find that many git commands insist on
printing informational messages, and the only way to avoid this is to
sent the output to /dev/null.

While some select commands support the -q option to suppres
informational messages many don't.

Since there was recenly some discussion of problems that newcomers could
work on I suppose this could be added to the list if not there already.

Thanks

Michal
