[PATCH v10 08/20] index-helper: log warnings

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
May 12, 2016, 20:20 UTC
Message-ID
<1463084415-19826-9-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>
In-Reply-To
<1463084415-19826-1-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.
