Yeah, I think so. Try this (on Linux):
$ GIT_PAGER='sed s/^/paged:/' \
GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=1 \
strace -f -e write -e 'signal=!sigchld' git -p rev-parse
strace: Process 31155 attached
strace: Process 31156 attached
[pid 31156] +++ exited with 0 +++
[pid 31155] +++ exited with 0 +++
write(2, "06:32:30.486995 [pid=31154] trac"..., 114) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
write(2, "Could not trace into fd given by"..., 99) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
+++ exited with 0 +++
We redirect stderr to the pager (note that GIT_TRACE=1 still goes to
stderr; it never goes to stdout). We wait() on the pager process before
we exit the main git process, and we don't print the performance stats
until atexit(). So by the time we get there, the pager must be dead, and
the pipe descriptor is closed (I'm actually kind of surprised we don't
get EPIPE, but it looks like we close the descriptors in
wait_for_pager()).
One workaround is something like:
GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=3 3>&2 git ...
though I guess I'd question whether trace-performance is interesting at
all for a paged command, since it is also counting the length of time
you spend looking at the pager waiting to hit "q".
