Maybe it is possible to check for the remote version > before sending incompatible commandline parameters? Indeed, that's what we must do. I am sending three patches in reply to this email: [PATCH 1/3] tests for push --quiet [PATCH 2/3] fix push --quiet via http [PATCH 3/3] push: old receive-pack does not understand --quiet The third one fixes this issue on the client side. It does not depend on the first two. It applies to v1.7.6.1, maint, and master. Would be great if you could test.
