Why throw the baby with bathwater?

To me, most of them look like responses to valid issues, and that
holds true even for [PATCH 1/4].  Even though your response may have
been an incorrect one, the issue that triggered the response is
still valid---the setting of these variables without explanation
invites curiosities and a mistake similar to what you made in that
patch.

If the patch were to consistently remove "GIT_TRACE=1" placed on
"git rebase" from all test scripts that do not check the trace
output consistently (i.e. 3400, 3402, and 7402), with a different
justification, e.g. "whoever wants to debug a specific part of the
test can add GIT_TRACE=1 before running the test with -v, but it
should not be committed", the change would be very reasonable, I
would think.
