I thought about it, and I agree with you. The idea could be
- Call the variable GIT_TRACE_CURL_DEBUG instead
- Add the new GIT_TRACE_CURL_VERBOSE variable, keeping
GIT_CURL_VERBOSE for compatibility
- Documenting these GIT_TRACE_CURL_XXX variables (GIT_CURL_VERBOSE
it is not even documented i think)
- perhaps use the git trace api in doing these new patches
Look reasonable? It seems reasonable? I'd like your own opinion
Thank you for your suggestion
