-/**
- * The Trace2 API can be used to print debug, performance, and telemetry
- * information to stderr or a file.  The Trace2 feature is inactive unless
- * explicitly enabled by enabling one or more Trace2 Targets.
- *
- * The Trace2 API is intended to replace the existing (Trace1)
- * printf-style tracing provided by the existing `GIT_TRACE` and
- * `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE` facilities.  During initial implementation,
- * Trace2 and Trace1 may operate in parallel.
- *
- * The Trace2 API defines a set of high-level messages with known fields,
- * such as (`start`: `argv`) and (`exit`: {`exit-code`, `elapsed-time`}).
- *
- * Trace2 instrumentation throughout the Git code base sends Trace2
- * messages to the enabled Trace2 Targets.  Targets transform these
- * messages content into purpose-specific formats and write events to
- * their data streams.  In this manner, the Trace2 API can drive
- * many different types of analysis.
- *
- * Targets are defined using a VTable allowing easy extension to other
- * formats in the future.  This might be used to define a binary format,
- * for example.
- *
- * Trace2 is controlled using `trace2.*` config values in the system and
- * global config files and `GIT_TRACE2*` environment variables.  Trace2 does
- * not read from repo local or worktree config files or respect `-c`
- * command line config settings.
- *
- * For more info about: trace2 targets, conventions for public functions and
- * macros, trace2 target formats and examples on trace2 API usage refer to
- * Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt
