Running multiple processes shouldn't be too taxing for what we are trying to do here.
Git for Windows sometimes receives bug reports about Bash not being able to start (usually it is a DLL base address problem, related to the way Cygwin and MSYS2 emulate `fork()`). In such a case, `git bugreport` would only be able to offer a reason for yet another bug report instead of adding useful metadata. Something to keep in mind when deciding how to implement this command. Ciao, Dscho
