I have noticed that git pull --quiet is actually only "quiet" if no problems are found If unmerged error occurs, output is seen on BOTH stdout and stderr $ git pull -q >/dev/null Pull is not possible because you have unmerged files. Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as appropriate to mark resolution, or use 'git commit -a'. $ git pull -q 2>/dev/null U AdobeHDS.php The --quiet option should at least silence the stdout. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
