fast-import: Hide the pack boundary commits by default.
Most users don't need the pack boundary information that fast-import was printing to standard output, especially if they were calling it with --quiet. Those users who do want this information probably want it captured so they can go back and use it to repack the imported repository. So dumping the boundary commits to a log file makes more sense then printing them to standard output. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
