/**
 * 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
