    Debugging Git

Some tips about debugging Git with GDB and LLDB.
Compiling Git for debugging

By default, Git's Makefile compiles Git with debug symbols (-g),
but with optimization level -O2, which can lead to some variable being optimized out and thus making the executable harder to debug.
To compile with -O0, you can tweak CFLAGS using config.mak:
$ cat config.mak
