I've been wondering if we can somehow reduce the occurrence of such
an issue in the first place.  Elaborating a bit more in the
"Reporting bugs" section of the documentation landing page is
probably the 0-th step, and if people agree that it is going in the
right direction, perhaps we would extend it to include something
similar to the top of the "git bugreport" template, by futzing with
the implementation of builtin/bugreport.c:get_bug_template(), and we
can even encourage customizing it by distribution.

People might also get here from:

  https://git-scm.com/community

That page does mention the Git for Windows tracker, but it could perhaps
be more explicit that "bundled" components are specific to Git for
Windows. I don't really touch that site anymore, but I'm sure a pull
request at:

  https://github.com/git/git-scm.com

would be welcome.
