Package: tmux
Version: 1.8-1
Severity: normal

The -q option intended for quiet operation does not appear
to be working in the version of tmux currently in sid (what
I am using).  For example, the has-session argument for tmux
is commonly used in scripts with -q as such:

$ tmux -q has-session -t existingsession
$

This would be the expected behavior, with an exit 0 status,
and this does work.  However, if I perform the command on a
session target that doesn't exist, I get:

$ tmux -q has-session -t nonexistant
session not found: nonexistant
$

The exit status is 1 as would be expected, so the has-session
function itself works.  It is just the -q that seems to be
ignored, since that should've been a silent operation.  While
this bug is not major (scripts still work), it does create a
noisy annoyance.

Other messages such as tmux warning you about the creation
of nested sessions also occur, even when -q has been used
there as well.


I do not know if this bug is present only in Debian or is
also present upstream.  I checked the bug reports on tmux's
SourceForge page and did not see a ticket.
