So what you are saying is, that git v1.8.3.1 *is* quiet, but v1.7.1 is not? Sounds like a fixed bug to me. I also checked with the latest version and it did not print anything when used with -q. You seem to urgently need quiet branch creation. Have you thought about dumping unwanted output in the shell? E.g. in bash $ git whatever >&/dev/null
