This keeps the current behavior of not refreshing when --quiet is given. I wonder how disruptive it would be to take the opportunity to get rid of that hack and go back the the original behavior of refreshing when --quiet is given. There are a couple of assumptions that make me think it might be acceptable
1 - anyone using a sparse index wont notice as refreshing the index should be fast for them 2 - the large repositories that are affected exist in managed environments where an admin who reads the release notes could set reset.refresh in a central config so individual users are not inconvenienced.
