Can you be more specific? It seems to work for me:

  $ rm -rf dst.git &&
    git init --bare -q dst.git &&
    git push dst.git
  Counting objects: 6, done.
  Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
  Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
  Writing objects: 100% (6/6), 441 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
  Total 6 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
  To dst.git
   * [new branch]      master -> master

  $ rm -rf dst.git &&
    git init --bare -q dst.git &&
    git push -q dst.git
  [no output]

Are you seeing progress reporting, the status table, or something else? Are you using a particular protocol that might invoke a git-remote-* helper that doesn't respect the quiet flag?
