This environment variable overrides `$PAGER`.
'GIT_TRACE'::
- If this variable is set git will print `trace:` messages on
+ If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison
+ is case insensitive), git will print `trace:` messages on
stderr telling about alias expansion, built-in command
execution and external command execution.
+ If this variable is set to an integer value greater than 1
+ and lower than 10 (strictly) then git will interpret this
+ value as an open file descriptor and will try to write the
+ trace messages into this file descriptor.
+ Alternatively, if this variable is set to an absolute path
+ (starting with a '/' character), git will interpret this
+ as a file path and will try to write the trace messages
+ into it.
