Note that this breaks the git downloads, as reported by Matthias:
    https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=13631

It most probably also breaks the svn downloads too. So I know you are
primarily using Hg at your place, but clearly the git and svn backends
were not tested, and I overlooked the impact of that change when
applying. :-/

However, I don't see an easy way out.

My first idea was to test whether stdout was a terminal or not, e.g.:

    if [ -z "${quiet}" -a -t 1 ]; then
        printf ...
    fi

So that the command would not be printed when called in a subshell like
is used to get the date:
    date="$( _git ... )"

But that means the commands would not be printed for people that log the
output, like so:

    $ make 2 >&1|tee build.log
or with:
    $ ./utils/brmake

either being probably a well-established use-case (I use that almost
exclusively...)

Another idea I had was to force quiet in such case:

    date="$( quiet=-q _git ... )"

But I find it pretty ugly, because it just papers over the problem...

So, my friendly ultimatum is: as I don't have time tonight to properly
handle this and think straight, you get a one-day delay to find a proper
fix, or I'm going to revert. Deal? ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
