I don't mind this as some intermediate step, but re the context of the plan for scalar "eventually going away" (discussed in previous threads) I wonder why (especially re the earlier thread upthread at [1]) this isn't being added to "git bugreport". Is the plan to integrate this into "git bugreport" eventually? 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.2202062213030.347@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet/

That's the go-to command when there are issues for many users. --Randall

Potentially a variation of the `scalar diagnose` code could be useful in `git bugreport`, opt-in via a new option. But that's not the purpose of this patch series. > Could this also not be useful in fsck, as --diagnose? That's the go-to > command when there are issues for many users. I can see where you're coming from, but `fsck`'s mission is to verify the integrity of the local Git database. That is very different from the mission of `scalar diagnose`, which is to help diagnose issues (whether they are truly bugs or usage patterns causing unfortunate performance). Ciao, Dscho
