x.py fmt is extremely noisy

Today I synchronized my local version of the rust repo, made a few changes and formatted.

This prints:

This is a known issue, it means that you have a remote to the rust-lang repo that is outdated.
The 35k lines likely means that it is at least behind the test move.
Does running git fetch upstream (replace upstream with the remote name if different) fixes it ?

Maybe we should remove these logs?

There is the same problem if you created lots of file in the formatted directories, but did not track them in git:
It will print the name of all of these.

I think we should avoid printing the names of the files if there are more than 10 (or whatever number). That would avoid all similar issues.

@shourya5 Hi! May I know if you're still working on this issue?
