And at least for me the annoyance was when using it in command line, interactively. So yes, it makes it possible to make clone quieter, but = I wont use it, because I have to either make an alias for git (and that on every system I might come upon), or type in "-q" every time, at whic= h case I can also live with a little more output. But even if it is of no immediate use to me personall, I still like the= patch: now I can make some scripts quieter (with less risk of removing somethi= ng interesting by piping everything to /dev/null).
