I'm very slowly catching up with git traffic. Apologies if it's already mentioned elsewhere since I have only read this mail thread.

Is it more convenient to add a sh function "gdb" instead? Most of the time I only want to stop one command, and I put "gdb /path/..../" in front of "git ...". This gdb function could just expand to that THis would make it a lot more convenient to debug (single command, not full .sh file).

We can even go further with supporting gdbserver function, to launch gdbserver, then I can debug from outside, works even without -v -i.
