The --quiet option is silently turned off (but --exit-code is still in effect, so is silent output) if postprocessing filters such as pickaxe and diff-filter are used. For all practical purposes I do not think of a reason to want to use these filters and not viewing the diff output.
pickaxe filter can be useful in hooks to enforce policy on use of some constructs. I can well imagine (do not even have to imagine) a stupid company policy forbidding commits with "\<printf\>" in them. Have no idea for diff-filter though. - 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
