Are there any?
I investigated into this. But I was unable to find any git commit which actually respects mulitple quiet levels. I first did a 'git grep OPT__QUIET' to find the commands which use this. Then I went through the documentation which covers it. None of them have any such mention of multiple quiet levels. But still I dug further and and went through all the individual source files. I followed the corresponding C source code for the header file included and also searched there for any trace of quiet. But I still didn't find any such use of multiple quiet levels. I have found that the commit id 212c0a6f (Duy Ngyuyen; 7 Dec, 2013; parse-options: remove OPT__BOOLEAN). Maybe he has something to say as to why this was introduced and OPT__QUIET which previously used OPT__BOOLEAN, now uses OPT_COUNTUP rather than OPT_BOOL. This commit In fact git-repack command has quiet but this is not mentioned in the documentation. If someone could include this it in the documentation. I would do it but I am not quite familiar with git-repack and haven't really used it anytime. > More importantly, though, this change implies that you should also add > tests to ensure that the quiet level is indeed incremented with each > --quiet, just as "-vv" and "--verbose --verbose" are already tested. > You might be able to include such new tests directly in this patch as > long as the commit message is clear about it, or add them in a > separate patch.

A separate patch which > adds such tests would be nice (unless such tests already exist and I > merely missed them). There are no tests to ensure that --no-verbose and --no-quiet reset those respective values to 0 just before this patch. But I have covered the --no-verbose tests in the upcoming patch 3/5. I will include the tests for --no-quiet in this patch. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
