Shouldn't info also output to stderr?

die is calling info. So this patch is enough.

You should just send this patch to the author. I think he'll apply it
instantly. I've send a small patch to him yesterday as well.

Sure, I was just wondering whether info() shouldn't also print to
stderr. Or only die(). I think info() prints status messages, which
are not standard operation and thus don't go to stdout, but go to
stderr. No?

Yes, but I applied that. :)

(I am Petr's apprentice, learning to help him a bit with TopGit).
