While GIT_TRACE is documented on git manpage, and mentioned in RelNotes,
GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY is documented on git manpage and mentioned on 
git-merge manpage and other...  GIT_TRACE_PACKET isn't documented 
_anywhere_:

  $ git grep GIT_TRACE_PACKET
  pkt-line.c:static const char trace_key[] = "GIT_TRACE_PACKET";

Yeah, it's still on my todo list to revisit that topic. There were a few
cleanups and improvements that people mentioned in the original thread,
and I'll try to document it then.
