[PATCH] Make ui.warn write to stderr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [PATCH] Make ui.warn write to stderr From: Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com> > Someone is probably using ui.write instead of ui.warn. Actually, ui.warn uses ui.write. So hg never prints to stderr right now. Here's a patch to fix that.
