Subject: Print progress message to stderr, not stdout
X-Git-Tag: v0.14.3~425
X-Git-Url: https://git.distorted.org.uk/~mdw/stgit/commitdiff_plain/ba9c6dc51c6dc0dca67944bf859802389bcaba9b

Print progress message to stderr, not stdout

Printing progress messages to stdout causes them to get mixed up with
the actual output of the program. Using stderr is much better, since
the user can then redirect the two components separately.
