[PATCH 08/10] submodule update: send messages to stderr

From
Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>
Date
Apr 30, 2016, 00:40 UTC
Message-ID
<1461976845-18228-9-git-send-email-sbeller@google.com>
In-Reply-To
<1461976845-18228-1-git-send-email-sbeller@google.com>

Reroute the output of stdout to stderr as it is just informative messages, not to be consumed by machines.

This should not regress any scripts that try to parse the current output, as the output is already internationalized and therefore unstable.
