`git push` writes to stderr instead of stdout

Steps to reproduce:

  cd foo
  git init
  echo foo > fo
  git add -A
  git commit -am "foo"
  git push . HEAD:refs/heads/newbranch 2>out

Expected: `out` file is empty

Actual: `out` file contents:

To .
 * [new branch]      HEAD -> newbranch

That's by design.

Which one is correct is largely a matter of philosophy / mental model.
This case has been discussed before:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/180673

Keep in mind also that "git push --porcelain" does go to stdout and is
machine-parsed, so no other messages can go to stdout when that option
is enabled.

Oh, missed --porcelain switch. Thanks.
