Subject: [PATCH] git-clone: honor --quiet
Message-ID: <87u01v3zfv.fsf@rho.meyering.net>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/87u01v3zfv.fsf%40rho.meyering.net

```
I noticed that a cron-launched "git-clone --quiet" was generating
progress output to standard error -- and thus always spamming me.
The offending output was due to git-clone invoking git-read-tree with
its undocumented -v option.
This change turns off "-v" for --quiet.
