Feature Request: Consider moving git clone progress from stdout to logger #36

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I run git-xargs on a list of 500+ repositories and also from Github Actions. Running it on that scale logs a lot of information when cloning repositories.

For example:

Compressing objects: 100% (39/39) Compressing objects: 100% (39/39), done. Total 59 (delta 21), reused 35 (delta 12), pack-reused 0 Enumerating objects: 20, done. Counting objects: 20% (1/5) Counting objects: 40% (2/5) Counting objects: 60% (3/5) Counting objects: 80% (4/5) Counting objects: 100% (5/5) Counting objects: 100% (5/5), done. Compressing objects: 33% (1/3) Compressing objects: 66% (2/3) Compressing objects: 100% (3/3) Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done. Total 20 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 15 Enumerating objects: 835, done. Counting objects: 0% (1/111) Counting objects: 1% (2/111) Counting objects: 2% (3/111) Counting objects: 3% (4/111)

Describe the solution you'd like

Would it be possible to move that information to a debug log for example or add a --quiet option? (I think the former solution is preferable because --quiet would have a much bigger scope for the tool in general.)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Send progress to the logger instead of stdout https://github.com/gruntwork-io/git-xargs/blob/0fcd89a2e1a7594b20406468d746d72c0f7117f1/repository/repo-operations.go#L46

Additional context N/A
