[PATCH] git-clone: honor --quiet

I noticed that a cron-launched "git-clone --quiet" was generating progress output to standard error -- and thus always spamming me. The offending output was due to git-clone invoking git-read-tree with its undocumented -v option. This change turns off "-v" for --quiet.
