Redirection syntax seems broken

#4194

fish version:
fish, version 3.1.0

OS:
Darwin serenity 19.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 19.3.0: Thu Jan 9 20:58:23 PST 2020; root:xnu-6153.81.5~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

Did not try fish without third-party customizations.

I have a script (.fish) which attempts to execute this line:
git checkout master > /dev/null ^&1

Issue #4194, which is closed, indicates that I am using the correct syntax.

However I get this error

~/.config/fish/functions/git-clean-branches.fish (line 51): Expected a string, but instead found a '&'
git checkout master > /dev/null ^&1

This script was unchanged, and started breaking today.

Thanks,
John Schank

Yes, I think that's broken.

As a workaround (and as recommended in future, as the ^ syntax will eventually be removed), you can use >/dev/null 2>&1.
