Just wondering, what's Git's policy on this? This message is neither
an error nor a warning, but just purely informational. As such it
semantically does not belong to stderr, or? On the other hand I see
multiple places in Git's code where printing to stderr is (mis-)used
for informational messages, probably to separate output to be consumed
by humans from output to be consumed by machines, like you do here.
