[PATCHv5 5/7] builtin/describe.c: print debug statements earlier

From
Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>
Date

Message-ID

When debugging, print the received argument at the start of the function instead of in the middle. This ensures that the received argument is printed in all code paths, and also allows a subsequent refactoring to not need to move the "arg" parameter.
