commit --quiet option

In git version 1.6.6.rc0.15.g4fa8a0 using the --quiet option it still show some output. Is that intended? Specifically I would like to exclude message about the untracked files when using --quite option.

$ git commit -q -m commit # On branch master # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: .git-completion.bash # modified: bin/mirrorgit # # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # a123 no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Given that you are getting "you told me to make a commit without preparing anything to commit" error message, I think it can be argued in both ways.

    $ git commit -q -uno -m 'meaningless message'

would omit the listing of Untracked files; a better alternative, depending on what are listed in the section (I take "a123" is an example made-up for reproduction recipe, and you are probably getting something like 'foo.bak' in real life), might be to update your .gitignore, though.

That git-commit is intended to run inside a cron job for backup from home folder and .files, so 'commit' is better than 'meaningless message'. .gitignore is already maintained however those 'a123' is a real life example, they are artifacts of '3m post-it' files because I rarely use clipboard (c-ins/c-ins) to copy text from one application into another.

Thanks for tips on -uno option.
