Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah, --quiet would be nice; though the actual thing should be
achieved by the following:

The warnings, etc, should be okay, since some one who wants a patch
knows what it means. Dealing with adds, renames, etc, shouldn't be an
issue, since the patch should just list all the changes -- renames
will be some file removed and some file added. The user wants a patch,
let's give him a patch. Someone may need a patch to post it to some
non-Arch-using community, for example.
