+/**
+ * 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
+ * ------------
