```
The first version of test 23 did simply check that no output was send
to stderr.

Commit 5e2c7cd2 verified that the expected tags were actually cloned.

Since the day "git clone" printed "Cloning into 'too-many-refs'" to stderr,
the test failed because stderr was not empty.

Remove the check for stderr and make t5551-23 pass again

Thanks.  It is 68b939b2 (clone: send diagnostic messages to stderr,
2013-09-18); before it we showed the message to the standard output
stream instead.

Will queue.

Thanks for digging, as we now know better:
do you want to squeeze in someting like this:

s/Since the day/Since commit 5e2c7cd2/ 

```

I usually do not dig only to give suggestions to others, which will
risk the time I spent to go to total waste.  When I find the log
message lacking, and if the patch looked otherwise OK enough, I do
the digging myself in order to tweak to reduce one round-trip
(otherwise I'd just discard and tell the submitter to do the
digging).  I may send out what I learned as a response, but that is
a mere "side effect"; the primary effect of queuing an improved
patch has often already happened when you see the result of my
digging.

I do not recall what I did for this particular patch, but you should
be able to fetch and run "git log origin/master..origin/pu" to find
out what I did ;-).

Thanks.
