Subject: Writing to err vs std
Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2023 18:53:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAH74SFS3hFzYzJ6eb2YenJh4-Pf_VBzVTo8axnEtHDyaJUB-jw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I see things like git fetch and other processing writing details to
stderr and not std.  Can someone point to why this is and what the
rule is for determining when to write to err vs std?  See
165f390250874b32ed8158150fe49d574297c9f9 for example.  Is there a
standard in the git project that says write this to err while write
that to std?  Any guidance and why would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay Asbury
