pre-commit Hook "echo" message not appearing in popup [message #1832929]

I have a pre-commit hook working in that it rejects commits to a particular branch but the "echo" message from the pre-commit hook does not appear in the popup window indicating the commit was canceled by the pre-commit hook.

The titlebar of the popup identifies that the pre-commit hook canceled the commit but other than a yellow triangle icon, the entire popup window is blank.

Here is the pre-commit hook:

#!/bin/sh

branch="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"

if [ "$branch" = "develop" ]; then
  echo "You can't commit directly to develop branch"
  exit 1
fi

And here is the popup (also attached in case it doesn't render in the message):

index.php/fa/38996/0/

Any suggestions?

I stumbled across the fix for this... I needed to prefix my "echo" with ">&2" so it would be written to stderr (instead of stdout). DOH!
