restic --quiet is not quiet anymore

[sebasgo]

Output of restic version

restic 0.9.4 compiled with go1.11.4 on linux/amd64

How did you run restic exactly?

I run

restic --quiet backup /home/$user/ --exclude /home/$user/.cache 

with the RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE, RESTIC_REPOSITORY, and user set.

What backend/server/service did you use to store the repository?

sftp

Expected behavior

Unless there is an error, restic produces no output on stdout / stderr.

Actual behavior

Starting with version 0.9.4, restic prints

open repository

when doing a backup.

This is inconvinient for me, because now I get a mail from cron for each backup and not only for failed backups.

Version 0.9.3 and earlier was not affected by the issue. Also, restic --quiet forget is still quiet in verions 0.9.4. I have not tested any other command, though.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Setup restic with the sftp backend.
2. Run restic with --quiet

Do you have any idea what may have caused this?

Nope.

Do you have an idea how to solve the issue?

Nope.

Did restic help you or made you happy in any way?

Yep, it's great piece of software.
