Ah. I misunderstood what the redirection 2> was doing. I don't use the
shell much.
The dvc-run-dvc-async does:
(start-process
(dvc-variable dvc "executable") output-buf
"sh" "-c"
(format "%s 2> %s"
command error-file))))
start-process sends both stderr and stdout to a single buffer. (It
turns out that is documented in the elisp manual; see the node "output
from processes".)
So this shell command redirects stderror to error-file before Emacs
sends it to a buffer.
So I had it backwards; I thought calling "sh" explicitly was there to
combine stderr and stdout, but it's actually there to separate them.
I'll add a comment that explains that.
