All Travis CI build jobs run the test suite with 'make --quiet test'.
On one hand, being quiet doesn't save us from much clutter in the
output:
$ make test |wc -l
861
$ make --quiet test |wc -l
848
It only spares 13 lines, mostly the output of entering the 't/'
directory and the pre- and post-cleanup commands, which is negligible
compared to the ~700 lines printed while building Git and the ~850
lines of 'prove' output.
On the other hand, it's asking for trouble. In our CI build scripts
we build Git and run the test suite in two separate 'make'
invocations. In a prelimiary version of one of the later patches in
this series, to explicitly specify which compiler to use, I changed
them to basically run:
make CC=$CC
make --quiet test
naively thinking that it should Just Work... but then that 'make
--quiet test' got all clever on me, noticed the changed build flags,
and then proceeded to rebuild everything with the default 'cc'. And
because of that '--quiet' option, it did so, well, quietly, only
saying "* new build flags", and it was by mere luck that I happened to
notice that something is amiss.
Let's just drop that '--quiet' option when running the test suite in
all build scripts.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to
the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very
first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker"
and the name as (depending on your mood):
random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
"global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
"goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
