So, in case it just fell through the cracks... I saw it. The -v option used not to be there, but we added it with an explicit purpose of not boring people fetching over http connection (which used to be slow especially before packfiles were introduced). I do not care much either way, but I suspect there actually are people who want to see that "assuring look" of something happening. I dunno. I am certainly *not* opposed to have an explicit option or a per-user configuration to make it not pass -v to http-fetch. I am just wondering if we want to change the default. Especially people new to git may wonder what is happening without _any_ feedback if we turned it off by default. - 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
