Logging of warnings and errors are not written to log file in Powershell

I've created a migration script in PowerShell for SVN to Git and I would to log the output of the command git svn clone. When I run this like below, then I see that some lines like warnings and errors are not written to the log file. The rest of the lines are written to logs.txt.

git svn clone "https://subversion/repo" "repo" > logs.txt

Same thing with 

git svn clone "https://subversion/repo" "repo" | Out-File -FilePath logs.txt

I've also tried to use Start-Transcript logs.txt and Stop-Transcript but that logs nothing to the log file.

How could I log the warnigs and the errors to that log file?

You need to redirect stderr to the file. Notice the 2 

git svn clone "https://subversion/repo" "repo" 2> logs.txt

1 is stdout
2 is stderr

To redirect stdout and stderr. Redirect stderr into stdout

git svn clone "https://subversion/repo" "repo" > logs.txt 2>&1
