 | * `0` or `false` - Disables the target. | 
 | * `1` or `true` - Writes to `STDERR`. | 
 | * `[2-9]` - Writes to the already opened file descriptor. | 
 | * `<absolute-pathname>` - Writes to the file in append mode. If the target | 
 | already exists and is a directory, the traces will be written to files (one | 
 | per process) underneath the given directory. | 
 | * `af_unix:[<socket_type>:]<absolute-pathname>` - Write to a | 
 | Unix DomainSocket (on platforms that support them).  Socket | 
 | type can be either `stream` or `dgram`; if omitted Git will | 
 | try both. |
