Subject: git 1.7.7.3: BUG - please make git mv -f quiet
Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2011 23:22:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <877h226bxe.fsf@picasso.cante.net> (raw)


Every time I do:

    git mv -f FROM TO

Git displays:

    warning: destination exists; will overwrite!

Please don't display anything other than errors (no write permission....).

The "-f" is like with mv(1), cp(1); there is nothing than can be done
afterwards, so the message is redundant and obstructing.

If messages are needed, please add option:

    -v, --verbose
