This reverts commit f743394. Most Git-Cheetah commands are expected to launch an independent process, without blocking the calling file manager application. Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de>
Git-Cheetah redirects and reads stdout / stderr of forked commands only if it needs to. Otherwise this output simply goes to stdout / stderr of the calling file manager process. This is OK for GUI-based file managers (e.g. Windows Explorer), as there is no console. For text-based file managers (e.g. Far Manager) this is a problem, as such unwanted console output messes up the UI. Redirect stdout / stderr of forked commands to /dev/null if Git-Cheetah doesn't need it. Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de>

Okay, since nobody chimed in who has a chance to test FarManager I am willing to force them to test by merging this. |

Unfortunately, the FarManager users were not bitten, but the Windows Explorer crowd. Hopefully #15 addresses this. |

As of PR #11, Git-Cheetah menu commands that were supposed to launch a separate process (such as "Git Bash", "Git GUI") would block the file manager process until the child process exits.
This PR reverts PR #11 and adds an alternate solution to the "Git-Cheetah prints to the console" problem.
