The current wording of the description of GIT_TRACE=/path/to/file
("... will try to write the trace messages into it") might be
misunderstood as "overwriting"; at least I interpreted it that way on
a cursory first read.

State it more explicitly that the trace messages are appended.

 Alternatively, if the variable is set to an absolute path
 (starting with a '/' character), Git will interpret this
-as a file path and will try to write the trace messages
-into it.

 Unsetting the variable, or setting it to empty, "0" or
 "false" (case insensitive) disables trace messages.
