Teach Git how to prompt the user for a good bug report: reproduction steps, expected behavior, and actual behavior. Later, Git can learn how to collect some diagnostic information from the repository.
It makes sense, but I do not think of any good reason why this should be implemented as a builtin. I'd expect it would probably need to collect more info on the running environment than otherwise necessary for the regular Git operation, and perhaps you'd want to even link with libraries that are not needed for the regular Git operation to achieve that. Can you make it a standalone binary instead to avoid bloat of the main "git" binary? Thanks.
