When a user asks us to force a mv and overwrite the destination, we print a warning. However, since a typical use would be: $ git mv one two fatal: destination exists, source=one, destination=two $ git mv -f one two warning: overwriting 'two' this warning is just noise. We already know we're overwriting; that's why we gave -f! This patch silences the warning unless "--verbose" is given.
