This patch series contains a new trace2 facility that hopefully addresses
the recent trace- and structured-logging-related discussions. The intent is
to eventually replace the existing trace_ routines (or to route them to the
new trace2_ routines) as time permits.

I haven't been part of the recent discussions on these logging efforts, 
but I wanted to mention that I'm excited about the potential here. I 
want to use this new tracing model to trace how many commits are walked 
by graph algorithms like paint_down_to_common().

I'm playing with some efforts here, and found one issue when the API is 
used incorrectly (I'll respond to the patch with the issue).

Thanks,
