Bug Description
Binary package hint: moblin-
Image Creator uses tar in verbose mode, so actions like creating a project archive result in a tremendous amount of output. For example, MIC prints the name of every file in a project when archiving a project. Projects can have 50,000-100,000 files. That's a lot of (nearly useless) output to wade through when trying to solve problems. It's not good if you're running Image Creator over a network either.

We have a nightly build that creates a project+target then creates images and archives the project. The log runs about 15MB by default, but it's <200KB if tar is silenced. Since there's nothing interesting in the tar output that's not already available by running tar -t, silencing tar would be a huge signal:noise improvement.
