Hello, I've come across an issue that seems like a bug to me. If I clone a repository with a submodule but want to initialize it separately, then the error output is used during this initialization for what seems to be a standard message. Motivation: Cannot use - Fail on standard error setting in a devops pipeline Steps to reproduce: 1. git clone 2. git submodule init 2>err.txt The err.txt contains a message like Submodule 'xyz' (xyz.git) registered for path 'abc' >From what I've read this is the standard output in this case. And if not then why when I use "quiet" mode then the error output is empty. So why is the error output even used? Platforms reproduced on: git version 2.26.2.windows.1 - Windows server git version 2.19.0.windows.1 - gitbash - Windows 10 git version 2.17.1 Ubuntu (Windows subsystem) Thanks, Michal Vrana
