From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: get_maintainer: quiet noisy implicit -f vcs_file_exists checking Checking command line filenames that are outside the git tree can emit a noisy and confusing message. Quiet that message by redirecting stderr. Verify that the command was executed successfully.
