Description
Subject of the issue
When the output of ls-remote command is parsed both stout and stderr parsed, what causes the script to fail because of the unexpected git command output.
Your environment
- git version 1.7.1, ruby-git 1.5.0
- ruby 2.5.3p105 (2018-10-18 revision 65156) [x86_64-linux]
Expected behaviour
Git.ls_remote working even if something fails into stderr.
Output to stderr parsed separately from stdout.
IDK how complicated is it, but why not switch Open3::popen3 as command runner?
Steps to reproduce
You should have output in stderr for your git command. Then Git.ls_remote will fail.
Actual behaviour
When running Git.ls_remote and stderr isn't empty, the parsing of ls-remote command will fail because warning in the output causes:
NoMethodError: undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass

....
The reason is that git commands on this host for some reason output warnings about hostkey everytime. And I still searching for the reasons, why ~/.ssh/known_hosts file in the home is ignored, but I believe that this kind of warnings shouldn't fail program execution.
When I running my script, I'm getting:
RSA host key for IP address '**********' not in list of known hosts.
Which then not splitted by the tabs because there are no tabs in this string
Line 501 in e2fd4af
I checked the output of the command manually with and without stderr redirection to the /dev/null. as we can see with suppressed stderr script will not fail.

P.S.: Also wondering why ls_remote doesn't support listing tags, but that's another issue.
