The patch also includes the following part
+telemetry.plugin
+----------------
+
+If the config setting "telemetry.plugin" contains the pathname to a shared
+library, the library will be dynamically loaded during start up and events
+will be sent to it using the plugin API.
+
+This plugin model allows an organization to define a custom or private
+telemetry solution while using a stock version of Git.
+
+For example, on Windows, it allows telemetry events to go directly to the
+kernel via the plugin using the high performance Event Tracing for Windows
+(ETW) facility.
+
+The contrib/telemetry-plugin-examples directory contains two example
+plugins:
+ * A trivial log to stderr
+ * A trivial ETW writer
which is not a file but, if enabled, some windows internal thingie where the data is gone/duplicated/sent out/whatever.
I for my part would much rather prefer that to be a compile time option so that I don't need to check on every git update on windows if this is now enabled or not.
