The watchman patch uses warning() to report errors, for example. And there is always a chance of die(). Then we need to report the errors back. I faced the same problem with daemonizing git-gc, but I'm not sure if we can do exactly the same here like in commit 329e6e8 (gc: save log from daemonized gc --auto and print it next time - 2015-09-19) -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
