Re: [PATCH] git-apply: add --quiet flag

While it is not an incorrect statement, it is odd to have such an implementation detail nobody cares as the first thing in the log message, though.

Sure, I think you can do "apply --no-verbose" to do the same thing without any change, but we introduced VERBOSITY to replace VERBOSE exactly so that --verbose can be countermanded with --quiet, and this patch is a good example of the application of that feature.

I wonder if this deserves a test.

Also, does "git am" have an "--quiet" option (or "--verbose" for that matter), and if so, should it pass it down to underlying "git apply" (this is not a rhetorical suggestion --- it is a genuine question---I am not particularly interested in changing "am")?

The patch text looks good.

Thanks.
