I think he is trying to future-proof any additional output that push (or
remote helpers) produce. I don't think it is really worth it, though.
All of that should be going to stderr, and thus would be, at worst,
noise on the terminal. I don't think it is that hard or error-prone a
rule to send such cruft to stderr.
