Subject: [PATCH] pre-push.sample: Write error message to stderr
Message-ID: <48e0d9c541a5aad9644a0d1ec67b67de454cde5b.1410467299.git.wking@tremily.us>

```
githooks(5) suggests:

  Information about why the push is rejected may be sent to the user
  by writing to standard error.

So follow that advice in the sample.
