Btrfs send and receive are noisy on stderr by default (messages like "At subvol foo"). It'd be great to get an option to only print there if there is an error condition. I assume there are other commands which do the same.

See the patched version that quiets send but not receive. (I didn't realise receive was also noisy when requesting the backport.)

Many scripts/cron wrappers check for output on stderr in order to notify when warnings/errors occur. There should be a way to avoid triggering such notifications when btrfs commands are successful.
