Sorry about that. I already have forgotten that --quiet was a relatively recent invention. Before e5fc9a, we used --name-only, which was around forever. The original diff-cache had it since mid July 2005, and the command kept the option when it was renamed to diff-index in early September 2005. That is what we should use.
