Integer. Specifies desired depth of nested regions in the

trace2.configParams::
A comma-separated list of patterns of "important" config
settings that should be recorded in the trace2 output.
For example, `core.*,remote.*.url` would cause the trace2
output to contain events listing each configured remote.
May be overridden by the `GIT_TR2_CONFIG_PARAMS` environment
variable. Unset by default.
trace2.destinationDebug::
Boolean. When true Git will print error messages when a
trace target destination cannot be opened for writing.
By default, these errors are suppressed and tracing is
silently disabled. May be overridden by the
`GIT_TR2_DST_DEBUG` environment variable.

Trace2 is controlled using `trace2.*` config values in the system and
global config files and `GIT_TR2*` environment variables. Trace2 does
not read from repo local or worktree config files or respect `-c`
command line config settings.
== Trace2 Targets
Trace2 defines the following set of Trace2 Targets.
Format details are given in a later section.
`GIT_TR2` (NORMAL)::
=== The Normal Format Target
The normal format target is a tradition printf format and similar
to GIT_TRACE format. This format is enabled with the `GIT_TR`
environment variable or the `trace2.normalTarget` system or global
config setting.
For example
a simple printf format like GIT_TRACE.

`GIT_TR2_PERF` (PERF)::
=== The Performance Format Target
The performance format target (PERF) is a column-based format to
replace GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE and is suitable for development and
testing, possibly to complement tools like gprof. This format is
enabled with the `GIT_TR2_PERF` environment variable or the
`trace2.perfTarget` system or global config setting.

=== The Event Format Target
The event format target is a JSON-based format of event data suitable
for telemetry analysis. This format is enabled with the `GIT_TR2_EVENT`
environment variable or the `trace2.eventTarget` system or global config
setting.
For example

== Enabling a Target
=== Enabling a Target
A Trace2 Target is enabled when the corresponding environment variable
(`GIT_TR2`, `GIT_TR2_PERF`, or `GIT_TR2_EVENT`) is set. The following
values are recognized.
To enable a target, set the corresponding environment variable or
system or global config value to one of the following:
`0`::
`false`::
Disables the target.
`1`::
`true`::
Enables the target and writes stream to `STDERR`.
`[2-9]`::
Enables the target and writes to the already opened file descriptor.
`<absolute-pathname>`::
Enables the target, opens and writes to the file in append mode.
`af_unix:[<socket_type>:]<absolute-pathname>`::
Enables the target, opens and writes to a Unix Domain Socket
(on platforms that support them).
+
Socket type can be either `stream` or `dgram`. If the socket type is
omitted, Git will try both.
