5f44324 (core: log offset pack data accesses happened - 2011-07-06)
provides a way to observe pack access patterns via a config
switch. Setting an environment variable looks more obvious than a
config var, especially when you just need to _observe_, and more
inline with other tracing knobs we have.
Document it as it may be useful for remote troubleshooting.

My bad. I did test when GIT_TRACE_PACK_ACCESS was set, not when it
was set to an empty string. All cases tested now.

+'GIT_TRACE_PACK_ACCESS'::
+ If this variable is set to a path, a file will be created at
+ the given path logging all accesses to any packs. For each
+ access, the pack file name and an offset in the pack is
+ recorded. This may be helpful for troubleshooting some
+ pack-related performance problems.

GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS::
Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
pathspecs literally, rather than as glob patterns. For example,
