Heh. This is one of the things I looked into, back before I was formally involved with the project... (as patch manager and later a committer) But I never sent in a patch for this, because I reckoned that a patch that just adds a --quiet option everywhere (and uses it just for --version --quiet) would serve more as a 'practice for Daniel in sending patches' and less as 'a patch that Subversion needs'. So I looked for more 'real' patches (eg, copy_tests 48) to work on. Not to say that this patch is unnecessary (maybe you have a usecase wherein it's required), but if you're looking to cut your teeth, I can suggest a few more challening things to work on. :-) > I have attached the patch and the log message with this mail.
