trace: disable key after write error
If we get a write error writing to a trace descriptor, the error isn't likely to go away if we keep writing. Instead, you'll just get the same error over and over. E.g., try: GIT_TRACE_PACKET=42 git ls-remote >/dev/null You don't really need to see: warning: unable to write trace for GIT_TRACE_PACKET: Bad file descriptor hundreds of times. We could fallback to tracing to stderr, as we do in the error code-path for open(), but there's not much point. If the user fed us a bogus descriptor, they're probably better off fixing their invocation. And if they didn't, and we saw a transient error (e.g., ENOSPC writing to a file), it probably doesn't help anybody to have half of the trace in a file, and half on stderr.
