If the trace code cannot open a specified file, or does not understand the contents of the GIT_TRACE variable, it falls back to printing trace output to stderr. This is an attempt to be helpful, but in practice it just ends up annoying. The user was trying to get the output to go somewhere else, so spewing it to stderr does not really accomplish that. And as it's intended for debugging, they can presumably re-run the command with their error corrected. So instead of falling back, this patch disables bogus trace keys for the rest of the program, just as we do for write errors. We can drop the "Defaulting to..." part of the error message entirely; after seeing "cannot open '/foo'", the user can assume that tracing is skipped.
