From 534376ca04d524b99d69a30bdcf5e70ac8062aee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 16:54:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] mv: be quiet about overwriting When a user asks us to force a mv and overwrite the destination, we print a warning. However, since a typical use would be: $ git mv one two fatal: destination exists, source=one, destination=two $ git mv -f one two warning: overwriting 'two' this warning is just noise. We already know we're overwriting; that's why we gave -f! This patch silences the warning unless "--verbose" is given.
