It's not useless information, any more than the tachometer or a temperature gauge instead of an "idiot light" in a car is useless information. Again, "because git is an open-source project written by nerds, it shows you all of this information. Feel free to ignore it!"

If you don't want it, use `--quiet`. I like that it's there by default since it's useful when I need it and ignorable when I don't.

Of all the things to complain about git...
