I find it quite proper to have both. I would expect the following: - git fetch normally displays progress meter, possibly tells me what stage it's in (connecting/downloading ....) so I know it's not hung. - git fetch -q only tells me about errors/exceptional events good e.g. for scripts. - git fetch -v gives a lot of detail useful for debugging only used if I see problems and want to debug. Isn't this what's going on? So, that's why the "connecting" message belongs in the default setup (it can hang there for minutes), IP and such technicalia belong with -v, and -q would only print data on connection error. -- MST - 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
