repack: make '--quiet' disable progress
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
While testing some ideas in 'git repack', I ran it with '--quiet' and
discovered that some progress output was still shown. Specifically, the
output for writing the multi-pack-index showed the progress.

The 'show_progress' variable in cmd_repack() is initialized with
isatty(2) and is not modified at all by the '--quiet' flag. The
'--quiet' flag modifies the po_args.quiet option which is translated
into a '--quiet' flag for the 'git pack-objects' child process. However,
'show_progress' is used to directly send progress information to the
multi-pack-index writing logic which does not use a child process.

The fix here is to modify 'show_progress' to be false if po_opts.quiet
is true, and isatty(2) otherwise. This new expectation simplifies a
later condition that checks both.

This is difficult to test because the isatty(2) already prevents the
progess indicators from appearing when we redirect stderr to a file.
