My patch makes --porcelain imply some of what -v does, but not all.
Specifically --porcelain will output a status line for each ref that's to be
updated, weather -v is selected or not.  However -v enables some other output
besides that.  There's nothing stopping you from selecting -v and --porcelain.
Basically --porcelain only affects the per-ref status lines.  All other aspects
of git-push are the same.
