Paul WiseBy default when fetching one remote nothing is printed unless there are changes that need fetching. This makes fetching multiple remotes be just as verbose as fetching a single remote.
This is needed when fetching multiple repositories using the myrepos tool in minimal output mode, where myrepos only prints the repository names when git fetch prints some output. For example in the output below the cgit and git-remote-* lines would be hidden if git fetch were silent by default when fetching multiple remotes, since the default for myrepos is to fetch all remotes for git repositories.
