From 8875d4391dfc8e63059c2b91bb5d02641e87d174 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2015 09:52:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Help debugging with MSys2 by optionally executing bash with strace MSys2's strace facility is very useful for debugging... With this patch, the bash will be executed through strace if the environment variable GIT_STRACE_COMMANDS is set, which comes in real handy when investigating issues in the test suite.
