Well you can still send a patch :)

We have

    int verbose = (transport->verbose > 0);
    int quiet = (transport->verbose < 0);

So you're suggesting to only print these warnings when the
user asked for explicit verbose?

A few lines before the call to die_with_unpushed_submodules we have

     die ("Failed to push all needed submodules!");

which would also need a wrapping like

    if (quiet)
        return -1;
    else
        die(...);

Thanks,
Stefan
