[PATCH v6 05/19] index-helper: log warnings

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
Apr 27, 2016, 20:04 UTC
Message-ID
<1461787481-877-6-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>
In-Reply-To
<1461787481-877-1-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>

Instead of writing warnings to stderr, write them to a log. Later, we'll probably be daemonized, so writing to stderr will be pointless.
