Wouldn't this mean that there is no point in adding --quiet command line
option to the receive-pack command? IOW, shouldn't parts of 90a6c7d
(propagate --quiet to send-pack/receive-pack, 2011-07-30) be reverted?

At this late stage in the release cycle, I would rather prefer to revert
the whole commit and leave anything new for the next cycle.
