So what you are saying is, that git v1.8.3.1 *is* quiet, but v1.7.1 is
not? Sounds like a fixed bug to me.

I also checked with the latest version and it did not print anything
when used with -q.


You seem to urgently need quiet branch creation. Have you thought about
dumping unwanted output in the shell? E.g. in bash

$ git whatever >&/dev/null
