Thanks for bringing it up; we should be more careful about documenting these as we add them.

I went ahead and documented them both, as I also remember the rationale for "quiet". And of course I found some other inaccuracies in the capabilities documentation while I was there. :)

  [1/4]: docs: fix 'report-status' protocol capability thinko
  [2/4]: docs: note that receive-pack knows side-band-64k capability
  [3/4]: document 'agent' protocol capability
  [4/4]: document 'quiet' receive-pack capability
