Can you please disable all these meaningless messages which become more and more plentiful with each new version, like:

Updated 1 path from the index

And all these repeated tips with lots of text on git push/pull which are only first-time useful but nag people for years.

Actually, I want *this* message to be more verbose, but I don't think that's implemented. Could "git checkout" get a flag to print the files being overwritten, instead of only a count?

Best,
