In the last chapter of this document, pipes are used in commands to filter out the first/last trace messages. But according to git(1), trace messages are sent to stderr if GIT_TRACE is set to '1', so those commands do not produce the described results. Fix this by using the operator '|&' to additionally connect stderr to stdin of the latter command.
