So, I was debugging why the nightly run of this script did not actually every update anything. As part of that I manually ran the script on gcc.gnu.org.
Let's say the output was not particularly helpful. ;-) This patch addresses that and does not simply ignore _all_ output any more, plus it explicitly issues an error message if there was any problem. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gccadmin/2013-q2/msg00004.html shows exemplary output. I have not committed this yet, but plan on doing that unless there are any objections. Thoughts?
