Re: [PATCH] push: don't show Done with --quiet --porcelain

[Josh Rabinowitz <joshr@joshr.com>]

Hi Junio and other recipients:

Junio, thanks for your response. I think you may have misunderstood my
patch though (or I am misunderstanding your responses), because it
seems we are actually in agreement.

1) My original patch is to make 'git push --porcelain --quiet' not
emit 'Done' when there is no error. It would continue to emit "Done"
when using 'git push --porcelain' without an error.

2) In your first paragraph, you seem to state that while printing
"Done" is advantageous when using 'git push --porcelain' without
--quiet, the "Done" output isn't needed when --quiet is used. This
appears to agree with my patch's intent.

3) in your second paragraph, you seem to agree with me again, that
"Done" is not needed when "git push --porcelain --quiet" is use

4) Then in your third paragraph, you say that you don't want to remove
the "Done" output when using "git push --porcelain" without --quiet --
which my patch preserves (again, it would only remove the "Done" text
when 'git push --porcelain' is used with --quiet and there is no
error.)

In summary, I think we are in agreement that this patch is probably
acceptable. Look forward to reading comments.

Best,
 Josh Rabinowitz
