After taking a look, it looks like a routine that does nothing could
be passed to set_error_routine() and that could do part of the trick.
This part might not be too ugly, but it would anyway be more complex,
less close to what the code is doing now and more error prone, as one
also need to make sure that for example no warning() or
fprintf(stderr, ...) are called and nothing is printed on stdout.
By the way I took a look and there are 11 calls to fprintf(stderr,
...) and 10 calls to warning() in different places in builtin/apply.c.
There might also be such calls in functions outside builtin/apply.c
that are called by the functions in builtin/apply.c.
So I'd much rather keep doing what I am doing now. If you or someone
else want to contribute patches on top of the series to do it in
another way, maybe they might be integrated at the same time by Junio,
so that the whole thing would appear in the same release and there
would be no feature discrepancy between Windows and the other
platforms, and you wouldn't need to implement anything special for
Windows.
But anyway, even though I don't know much about Windows, I think if
you have some code already in compat/mingw.c to handle redirections,
it might be easier and safer overall to just implement the
redirections in Windows.
Thanks,
Christian.
