/**
 * The trace API can be used to print debug messages to stderr or a file. Trace
 * code is inactive unless explicitly enabled by setting `GIT_TRACE*` environment
 * variables.
 *
 * The trace implementation automatically adds `timestamp file:line ... \n` to
 * all trace messages. E.g.:
 *
 * ------------
 * 23:59:59.123456 git.c:312               trace: built-in: git 'foo'
 * 00:00:00.000001 builtin/foo.c:99        foo: some message
 * ------------
 *
 * Bugs & Caveats
 * --------------
 *
 * GIT_TRACE_* environment variables can be used to tell Git to show
 * trace output to its standard error stream. Git can often spawn a pager
 * internally to run its subcommand and send its standard output and
 * standard error to it.
 *
 * Because GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE trace is generated only at the very end
 * of the program with atexit(), which happens after the pager exits, it
 * would not work well if you send its log to the standard error output
 * and let Git spawn the pager at the same time.
 *
 * As a work around, you can for example use '--no-pager', or set
 * GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE to another file descriptor which is redirected
 * to stderr, or set GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE to a file specified by its
 * absolute path.
 *
 * For example instead of the following command which by default may not
 * print any performance information:
 *
 * ------------
 * GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=2 git log -1
 * ------------
 *
 * you may want to use:
 *
 * ------------
 * GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=2 git --no-pager log -1
 * ------------
 *
 * or:
 *
 * ------------
 * GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=3 3>&2 git log -1
 * ------------
 *
 * or:
 *
 * ------------
 * GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=/path/to/log/file git log -1
 * ------------
 *
