$ git checkout -q -b foo origin/foo Branch foo set up to track remote branch foo from origin.

I said -q because I didn't want *any* output.

I looked at the git sources, on the maint branch, and it appears to still be the case. I see this behavior on 1.7.1.

Note that git version 1.8.3.1 is quiet and does not print the "tracking remote" message.

So what you are saying is, that git v1.8.3.1 *is* quiet, but v1.7.1 is not? Sounds like a fixed bug to me.

I also checked with the latest version and it did not print anything when used with -q.

You seem to urgently need quiet branch creation. Have you thought about dumping unwanted output in the shell? E.g. in bash

$ git whatever >&/dev/null

Yeah, my bad.  I was confused.  Sorry for the noise.
