Originally the "--quiet" option was parsed by the diff-option parser into the internal QUICK option. This had the effect of silencing diff output from the log (which was not intended, but happened to work and people started to use it). But it also had other odd side effects at the diff level (for example, it would suppress the second commit in "git show A B"). To fix this, commit 1c40c36 converted log to parse-options and handled the "quiet" option separately, not passing it on to the diff code. However, it simply ignored the option, which was a regression for people using it as a synonym for "-s". Commit 01771a8 then fixed that by interpreting the option to add DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT to the list of output formats. However, that commit did not fix it in all cases. It sets the flag after setup_revisions is called. Naively, this makes sense because you would expect the setup_revisions parser to overwrite our output format flag if "-p" or another output format flag is seen. However, that is not how the NO_OUTPUT flag works. We actually store it in the bit-field as just another format. At the end of setup_revisions, we call diff_setup_done, which post-processes the bitfield and clears any other formats if we have set NO_OUTPUT. By setting the flag after setup_revisions is done, diff_setup_done does not have a chance to make this tweak, and we end up with other format options still set. As a result, the flag would have no effect in "git log -p --quiet" or "git show --quiet". Fix it by setting the format flag before the call to setup_revisions.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, 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
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.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.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).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival
sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
