I'm struggling to understand how this output is a problem. There a whole bunch of things that make git user-unfriendly, but I don't think this is one of them.

I think it's disingenuous to suggest that the `git push` output is somehow adding friction to users. Do you really think that even non-programmer users won't just read it as "it's still doing stuff"? Sure, you could hide it behind a --verbose flag, but then if it fails half way through, it's too late to add the flag. Even a user who doesn't understand the output could then copy/paste it into Google or an LLM to figure out what happened.
