[PATCH v12 08/20] index-helper: log warnings

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
May 19, 2016, 21:45 UTC
Message-ID
<1463694357-6503-9-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>
In-Reply-To
<1463694357-6503-1-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.
