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.
