Speaking of GIT_DIR, we may also want to print the dir that the command is
executed in as the GIT_DIR for submodules usually is only ".git" assuming the
run-command struct set the .dir to the submodules worktree. I think I had a
patch for printing the cwd of a process on the list once upon a time, but
I am unable to find it again. Maybe we'd want to include the cwd of a spawned
process if it differs from the current process?

The patch I mentioned above (very similar though less powerful than this one)
was carried by locally for some time, so I definitely see value in this patch.
Thanks for writing it!

It only adds newly set variables, I wonder why deletions are noisy?
I could not find an example of a removal of environment variables
specific to submodules that would be noisy.
