o.n.m.vcscore.util.Debug is pretty ugly. VCS modules should reuse existing ErrorManager or Logging API.
This is actually a duplicate of issue #27730. Is it really defect?
Defect vs. RFE: it is questionable. If it is used than logging via stderr/stdout is probably not what we expect. What I think is that this is a place where we can elimitate a class, perhaps made some other classes (often there are two instances of Debug object staticaly referenced) a bit smaller. Really small benefits I know.
Fixed, after issue #27730 is fixed. See issue #27730 for the list of changed files.
