RE: Can't get git to stop outputting to StdErr

["Scott R. Chamberlain" <srchamberlain@impromed.com>]

Microsoft fixed their git repo implementation to no longer cause this problem.

This is talking to a visualstudio.com git repo. I will file a bug with them.

This would 

 (1) squelch the output from the sending side (i.e. local), and

 (2) ask "quiet" to the receiving side (i.e. remote), if they know
     how to be quiet.

These three lines prefixed with "remote:" are coming from the software that runs on the remote machine that accepts your push, but the way it says these three things do not look familiar to me.  Is it possible that the remote machine is running a Git server that is not ours, which lacks the support for "quiet" capability?  If that is the case, the symptom is understandable.

A quick archive search tells me that you are seeing the same issue as this one:

https://public-inbox.org/git/20160516133731.GA6903@sigill.intra.peff.net/

where the concluding remark, to which I agree, is:

    The server side here is clearly not stock git, from the content
    of those progress messages (some googling shows it looks like
    whatever visualstudio.com is running, but I don't know what that
    is). So either the server implementation doesn't support the
    "quiet" protocol extension, or it is ignoring it. It might be
    worth filing a bug with them.
