run-command: show prepared command

This adds a trace point in start_command so we can see the full command invocation without having to resort to strace/code inspection. For example: $ GIT_TRACE=1 git test foo git.c:755 trace: exec: git-test foo run-command.c:657 trace: run_command: git-test foo run-command.c:657 trace: run_command: 'echo $*' foo run-command.c:749 trace: start_command: /bin/sh -c 'echo $* "$@"' 'echo $*' foo Prior changes have made the documentation around the internals of the alias command execution clearer, but I have still found this detailed view of the aliased command being run helpful for debugging purposes. A test case is added to ensure the full command output is present in the execution flow. Signed-off-by: Ian Wienand <iwienand@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
