Thank you for this explanation, this really cleared up the intended
usage of --quiet for me. I wanted to use it for ancestry testing of two
commits, noticed the hard-coded return value of '0' in cmd_rev_list()
and thought that the implementation is probably missing.

After some additional digging, I realized that git-merge-base is the
right tool for my task.
