This redirection should probably not be changed. Darcs is

That makes sense.
I wonder why the output is stored in a file at all, though --- why
not just leave both stdout and stderr as AsIs, instead of buffering
it up and then sending it out again?
But it is of course arguable that printing the errors to the
terminal even if darcs exits with success would be better.
I think it is (of course darcs should really catch the errors and
exit early). I was going to add the error checking as well, but I
couldn't think of a clean Haskelly way to do it.
