Subject: [PATCH 1/1] trace2: Add variable description to git.txt
Date: Fri, 10 May 2019 12:44:26 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <768bdf1c210fd34776f667b080a23eb6f9e17125.1557517464.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.189.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt contains the full details
of the trace2 API and the GIT_TR2* environment variables. However,
most environment variables are included in Documentation/git.txt,
including the GIT_TRACE* variables.

Add a brief description of the GIT_TR2* variables with links to
the full technical details. The biggest difference from the
original variables is that we can specify a Unix Domain Socket.
Mention this difference, but leave the details to the technical
documents.
