Hi Abhishek!
Nice info, thanks. Does that disable maintenance messages like:
Updated 1 path from the index

Or gc about garbage collection? Actually bad defaults is big problem developers undeservedly ignore. You can control everything but you have to switch hundreds of options, because software defaults are oriented on dumbest user. Let's overcome this bad tendency and satisfy smartest users, not the dumbest ones. Unix was always terse system which provided little to no output by default. Let's honor that good tradition and not submit to "Google-Got-It" virus.
