From be2988220233f1e44cfafc64eee9fc0b70baeeca 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.
