Hello,
btrfs send puts a “At subvol …” on stderr, which is very annoying in
scripts, esp. cron-jobs. Piping stderr to /dev/null does suppress this
message, but also error-messages which one would probably want to
see. I added an option to not change the behavior of btrfs send
and possibly break existing scripts, but moving this message to
verbose would be O.K. for me too.
