git-clone --quiet broken?

The server I run various git snapshots on recently got upgraded to git 1.5.6, and I started getting a lot more mail from cron than usual. It seems that passing -q to git-clone at some point changed from 'silent' to 'slightly less noisy'. Only the difference is so slight that it may as well be nil..

Here's a normal clone..

Initialize git/.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/davej/git-trees/git/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 76925, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (25373/25373), done. remote: Total 76925 (delta 55699), reused 70336 (delta 50160) Receiving objects: 100% (76925/76925), 17.09 MiB | 1111 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (55699/55699), done.

And here's the 'quiet' clone..

Initialize git/.git remote: Counting objects: 76925, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (25373/25373), done. remote: Total 76925 (delta 55699), reused 70336 (delta 50160) Receiving objects: 100% (76925/76925), 17.09 MiB | 1128 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (55699/55699), done.

Spot the difference :)

It looks even worse in mail from cron, where you get one line of text for every % that git progresses through.

I could run the clone with 2>/dev/null, but I'd really like to get mail when something breaks instead of it being totally silent.

I'm assuming this was an unintentional side-effect of some other recent change?
