This new option can be used to override the implicit --syslog of --inetd, or to disable all logging. (While --detach also implies --syslog, --log-destination=stderr with --detach is useless since --detach disassociates the process from the original stderr.) --syslog is retained as an alias for --log-destination=syslog. --log-destination always overrides implicit --syslog regardless of option order. This is different than the “last one wins” logic that applies to some implicit options elsewhere in Git, but should hopefully be less confusing. (I also don’t know if *all* implicit options in Git follow “last one wins”.) The combination of --inetd with --log-destination=stderr is useful, for instance, when running `git daemon` as an instanced systemd service (with associated socket unit). In this case, log messages sent via syslog are received by the journal daemon, but run the risk of being processed at a time when the `git daemon` process has already exited (especially if the process was very short-lived, e.g. due to client error), so that the journal daemon can no longer read its cgroup and attach the message to the correct systemd unit (see systemd/systemd#2913 [1]). Logging to stderr instead can solve this problem, because systemd can connect stderr directly to the journal daemon, which then already knows which unit is associated with this stream.

Main changes this version: - Rename --send-log-to to --log-destination, following the postgresql option. A cursory search didn’t turn up any other daemons with a similar option – suggestions welcome! - Make explicit --log-destination always override implicit --syslog, regardless of option order.
