That one at least is fixed now, by having an option to disable it.

That git setting is for `git status`, but I think `git checkout branch` still doesn't have a comparable option either on the command line or in a git configuration file. The closest you can get is to turn off all output with `git checkout -q`.

Oh yes, I just tested it out and you're right. Bummer.
