I ran out of time looking at the surrounding code, but I think 1, 2 and 4 form a set that would give us immediate benefit to fast track to the upcoming release. I do not know if it makes sense to have 3 and 5 separate; I suspect a single patch that does "clarify the warning, and allow those who have no choice in which version of Git to choose squelch it" would suffice. The phrasing in 5 received a couple of good concrete suggestions already, so it is not ready in its current form but need a bit of wordsmithing. I also do not think a new "trace_printf" would particularly help. If I stared it a lot longer, I may spot more issues in it. But what that step does primarily would help long after the upcoming release and in that sense can wait a bit longer than 1, 2 & 4 (which I am hoping can be merged in -rc1).
