When run even without a request to be verbose, it emits a large amount of
text to stderr for every operation it performs. Using stderr means that you
can't send it to /dev/null or you won't see actual errors.
Example output (nth run on the same file so it's no-op, but the first run
spammed as well):

There's no "-q" option that would hush output that's not an (actual) warning
or an error.
Reading the program, I see that most of regular(!) output comes through a
function named printWarning(). In fact, not a single use of that function
produces an actual warning -- it's all regular confirmations of commands you
requested or at most reporting that an idempotent command was no-op.
Thus, I'd suggest this patch:
