Git add --verbose output not captured in Powershell verbose stream

When I run "git add . --verbose" I get messages showing the files that are being added like this:

add 'file1.txt"
add 'file2.txt"

But when I run the same git command in C# via PowerShellInstance.BeginInvoke(), the verbose messages are not being redirected to Streams.Verbose. In fact, they are not being redirected to any of the Streams. What am I missing? Is there anything wrong with the code?

Here's my code:

var ps = PowerShell.Create();
ps.Streams.Verbose.DataAdded += VerboseStream_DataAdded;
ps.BeginInvoke<PSObject, PSObject>(null, output);

void VerboseStream_DataAdded(object sender, DataAddedEventArgs e)
{
   // this is never called
}

From what I grasp about streams in Powershell (I glanced at this article ), it looks like a process in Powershell may write to 5 different output streams.

AFAIK, git was written with a unix like setup in mind, and is only "aware" of two output streams : stdout and stderr. I didn't look at the code, but I highly doubt git's codebase was adapted to take into account those five streams on Windows.

In your Powershell code : try pluging your callback to the Error stream or the Success stream.

Maybe this is because of the git add command making an output on stderr, instead of stdout.
With Git 2.16+ (as I show here), you can try:

set GIT_REDIRECT_STDERR=2>&1

But that might be ignored by a Csharp Git program.
