It probably should default to quiet if (!isatty(1)).

The real improvement, independent of this client-side patch, would be to reuse recently generated packs, but that needs writable cache directory on the server side. Another thing that I stumbled upon last time I tried it was that it did not look totally trivial to modify the csum-file interface so that I can splice the output from it into two different destinations (one to cachefile, the other to the consumer).
