Persistently enabling trace2 output is difficult because it requires
specifying a full filename. This series teaches tr2_dst_get_trace_fd()
to randomize filenames when a directory or filename prefix are given as
targets in the GIT_TR2_* envvars. It also allows expansion of a
timestamp template string into the current UTC timestamp.
Does the use of envvar cause issues? Or is it just the fixed absolute
pathname? When I started this, I was trying to keep the GIT_TRACE
model.
As was briefly discussed in [1] I was thinking of adding a way to
have a personal and/or system setting, but not a git config variable,
that would let you setup tracing without relying on environment
variables.
It's something that I've been wanting to do, it just got buried by
$DAYJOB stuff. I can try to bump it up if there's interest.
Thanks
