It appears that when outputting a fatal error, git-show will choose stdout over stderr if stdout is a terminal and stderr is not. How do I redirect the error but still allow stdout to be displayed? ~/git$ mkdir test ~/git$ cd test ~/git/test$ git init ~/git/test$ git show 12345 fatal: ambiguous argument '12345': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions ~/git/test$ git show 12345 2> /dev/null fatal: ambiguous argument '12345': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions ~/git/test$ git show 12345 > /dev/null fatal: ambiguous argument '12345': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions ~/git/test$ git show 12345 > /dev/null 2> /dev/null ~/git/test$ git show 12345 > /tmp/out 2> /tmp/err ~/git/test$ cat /tmp/out ~/git/test$ cat /tmp/err fatal: ambiguous argument '12345': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
