Some people believe that a clean execution should not give anything
to stderr (Tcl is one example, IIRC), but I think the core part of
Git takes the opposite stance (probably unix tradition?).  Anything
that is not the primary output of the program should go to stdout.

We may not have been very strict in code reviews to enfore it, and
especially on the fringes of the system it may be easy to find
violators, though.
