Subject: add an example of how to run git w/o getting random crap on stderr
X-Git-Url: https://git.madduck.net/code/myrepos.git/commitdiff_plain/9af9dee7005d509c835876e75c711455cce23d8d?hp=19390aa4fc5e6412cb65fe31d28a4a4f45361ee9

add an example of how to run git w/o getting random crap on stderr

git is a real mess when it comes to
 a) parsing command line options consistently,
 b) outputting non-errors to stderr

:-(
