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?hp=6f6d039f0cfb7470d11f77cacb8612b1b4ed40d1

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.
