No, because GIT_TRACE itself only reports on the execution of commands and sub-processes. There are other GIT_TRACE_* variables for various subsystems, but AFAIK nobody has instrumented the smudge/clean filter code. IMHO it would be reasonable to have a GIT_TRACE_CONVERT that covered convert.c (so these filters, but also newline conversion, etc). -Peff
