git 2.18.0 should print both of those lines to stdout.  This was done
to match where 'git reset --hard' prints the 'HEAD is now at...'
message. See also the thread at [1] where we did make that decision.

I think eventually it would be nice to write all those messages to
'stderr', as I think they do make more sense there.  I said I may do
that at some point in [2], but never got around to it yet.  If you
want to take a stab at it, feel free :)
