Subject: Write warnings and errors to stderr if not on a terminal
X-Git-Tag: v0.14~106
X-Git-Url: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~mdw/git/stgit/commitdiff_plain/8ea5a4e2f42e2ab2c92c2f75e90ee5f552b48364

Write warnings and errors to stderr if not on a terminal

Otherwise, they are suppressed along with the rest of the output. But
if stdout is a terminal, so that output is not suppressed, write
errors through the same Output object as info messages to get the
indentation etc. right.
