Sure, I think you can do "apply --no-verbose" to do the same thing without any change, but we introduced VERBOSITY to replace VERBOSE exactly so that --verbose can be countermanded with --quiet, and this patch is a good example of the application of that feature. I wonder if this deserves a test. Also, does "git am" have an "--quiet" option (or "--verbose" for that matter), and if so, should it pass it down to underlying "git apply" (this is not a rhetorical suggestion --- it is a genuine question---I am not particularly interested in changing "am")? The patch text looks good. Thanks.
