I have noticed that

  git pull --quiet

is actually only "quiet" if no problems are found

If unmerged error occurs, output is seen on BOTH stdout and stderr

  $ git pull -q >/dev/null
  Pull is not possible because you have unmerged files.
  Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>'
  as appropriate to mark resolution, or use 'git commit -a'.

  $ git pull -q 2>/dev/null
  U       AdobeHDS.php

The --quiet option should at least silence the stdout.
