Are you implying that you want to use the second version, that
deletes the information entirely? I'm leaning towards deleting
it.

If not, and we should keep using traces, I do notice that the
original version of the patch uses trace_printf_key() instead
of a trace2 method. I think this is fine, too, since it's
likely only to be used by Git developers, who could look for
which type of trace to use.
