Yes, that's a good point. I did not consider that.

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.

Thanks,
Clemens
