Re: Feature-request: git-bundle --quiet

[Jacob Vosmaer <jacob@gitlab.com>]

This is a tangent, but relevant: how do we feel about the fact that
'git bundle create' does not perform CRC32 checks when copying data
out of an existing packfile?

See https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.22.0/builtin/pack-objects.c#L2614-L2622 .

I understand the rationale of "skip CRC32 when serving a fetch",
although I have no clue how much we gain from skipping it. But "pack
to stdout means fetch" isn't quite accurate, as it includes bundles.
