From 8582fb59f7ee012f2b8118c2bb95168c1622a4c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2016 15:16:48 -0700 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.
