Help debugging with MSys2 by optionally executing bash with strace
MSys2's strace facility is very useful for debugging... With this patch, the bash will be executed through strace if the environment variable GIT_STRACE_COMMANDS is set, which comes in real handy when investigating issues in the test suite. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
