Is it the case that they should *never* go to STDERR? Since the sync modules can call a variety of different commands, it's hard to predict which ones will unnecessarily write to stderr. So, the assumption here is that the process exit status is a more reliable indicator for errors. For example, the python code in GitSync will write an error message to stderr if the git process exits with non-zero status. -- Thanks, Zac
