[PATCH v14 08/21] index-helper: log warnings

From
David Turner <novalis@novalis.org>
Date
Jul 3, 2016, 07:58 UTC
Message-ID
<1467532693-20017-9-git-send-email-novalis@novalis.org>
In-Reply-To
<1467532693-20017-1-git-send-email-novalis@novalis.org>
From: David Turner <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.
