+/**
+ * The Trace2 API can be used to print debug, performance, and telemetry
+ * information to stderr or a file. The Trace2 feature is inactive unless
+ * explicitly enabled by enabling one or more Trace2 Targets.
+ *
+ * The Trace2 API is intended to replace the existing (Trace1)
+ * printf-style tracing provided by the existing `GIT_TRACE` and
+ * `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE` facilities. During initial implementation,
+ * Trace2 and Trace1 may operate in parallel.
+ *
+ * The Trace2 API defines a set of high-level messages with known fields,
+ * such as (`start`: `argv`) and (`exit`: {`exit-code`, `elapsed-time`}).
+ *
+ * Trace2 instrumentation throughout the Git code base sends Trace2
+ * messages to the enabled Trace2 Targets. Targets transform these
+ * messages content into purpose-specific formats and write events to
+ * their data streams. In this manner, the Trace2 API can drive
+ * many different types of analysis.
+ *
+ * Targets are defined using a VTable allowing easy extension to other
+ * formats in the future. This might be used to define a binary format,
+ * for example.
+ *
+ * Trace2 is controlled using `trace2.*` config values in the system and
+ * global config files and `GIT_TRACE2*` environment variables. Trace2 does
+ * not read from repo local or worktree config files or respect `-c`
+ * command line config settings.
+ *
+ * For more info about: trace2 targets, conventions for public functions and
+ * macros, trace2 target formats and examples on trace2 API usage refer to
+ * Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt
