/**
* 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
