[PATCH v9 05/19] index-helper: log warnings

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
May 9, 2016, 20:48 UTC
Message-ID
<1462826929-7567-6-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>

<1462826929-7567-1-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.
