Hi,
I have a question related to the output of git gc logs. Let me
explain,

I realized that the message are sent to standard error,
so the question is why is the reason to do that?

The quick solution to my problem of annoying mails is send the output
error to /dev/null
but what happens when an error really occur, there will be no message
to alert me.
Try the --quiet parameter to "git gc" (and other git commands).

I think the real problem that Richard is experiencing is that git
fetch isn't respecting the --quiet option.  The output being similar
to git gc, and also being on STDERR seems to be a red-herring.

Richard,

What version of git are you using?

Also, what is the output from 'git fetch --q; echo $?' if you just run
that in your repo?  If the last line you see is '0', then that should
be the only output you see.

-Jacob

$ git --version
git version 1.5.4.3

And when there is no change in the repo

$ git fetch --q; echo $?
0

no messages and no error , but when there is a change to syncronize

$ git fetch --q; echo $?
remote: Counting objects: 7, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done.
remote: Total 5 (delta remote: 2), reused 0 (delta 0)
Unpacking objects: 100% (5/5), done.
From git@boss:sandbox
   3e4df7f..b92d27c  master     -> origin/master
0

here come the messages but the return value is still 0

I will try to update git to v1.6.5.6 and see what happend
