I also found this annoying but I was too lazy to fix it. To not
capture the stderr is easy (just change pass false as the 2nd argument
to popen2.Popen3) but there is a duplicate of error messages from both
GIT and StGIT. The other option is to add a '--verbose' option to most
of the commands. I'll have a look at it this weekend.

Thanks.
