Since v9, a few minor fixes only related to MS and clang compatibility, plus a warning about strbuf_addf vs strbuf_addstr. I have made no changes to the build setup for v10, so it's still built as a standalone which is invoked via the cmd_main helper. There is plenty of time to change the way we build it later if we want, but I generally agree with the sentiment "let's get something checked in".

[PATCH v10 1/5] help: move list_config_help to builtin/help

Starting in 3ac68a93fd2, help.o began to depend on builtin/branch.o, builtin/clean.o, and builtin/config.o. This meant that help.o was unusable outside of the context of the main Git executable.

To make help.o usable by other commands again, move list_config_help() into builtin/help.c (where it makes sense to assume other builtin libraries are present).

When command-list.h is included but a member is not used, we start to hear a compiler warning. Since the config list is generated in a fairly different way than the command list, and since commands and config options are semantically different, move the config list into its own header and move the generator into its own script and build rule.

[PATCH v10 2/5] bugreport: add tool to generate debugging info

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.

If users can send us a well-written bug report which contains diagnostic information we would otherwise need to ask the user for, we can reduce the number of question-and-answer round trips between the reporter and the Git contributor.

Users may also wish to send a report like this to their local "Git expert" if they have put their repository into a state they are confused by.

+================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-bugreport - Collect information for user to file a bug report
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git bugreport' [(-o | --output-directory) <path>] [(-s | --suffix) <format>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Captures information about the user's machine, Git client, and repository state,
+as well as a form requesting information about the behavior the user observed,
+into a single text file which the user can then share, for example to the Git
+mailing list, in order to report an observed bug.
+
+The following information is requested from the user:
+
+ - Reproduction steps
+ - Expected behavior
+ - Actual behavior
+
+This tool is invoked via the typical Git setup process, which means that in some
+cases, it might not be able to launch - for example, if a relevant config file
+is unreadable. In this kind of scenario, it may be helpful to manually gather
+the kind of information listed above when manually asking for help.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-o <path>::
+--output-directory <path>::
+	Place the resulting bug report file in `<path>` instead of the root of
+	the Git repository.
+
+-s <format>::
+--suffix <format>::
+	Specify an alternate suffix for the bugreport name, to create a file
+	named 'git-bugreport-<formatted suffix>'. This should take the form of a
+	link:strftime[3] format string; the current local time will be used.

[PATCH v10 3/5] bugreport: gather git version and build info

Knowing which version of Git a user has and how it was built allows us to more precisely pin down the circumstances when a certain issue occurs, so teach bugreport how to tell us the same output as 'git version --build-options'.

It's not ideal to directly call 'git version --build-options' because that output goes to stdout. Instead, wrap the version string in a helper within help.[ch] library, and call that helper from within the bugreport library.

[PATCH v10 5/5] bugreport: add compiler info

To help pinpoint the source of a regression, it is useful to know some info about the compiler which the user's Git client was built with. By adding a generic get_compiler_info() in 'compat/' we can choose which relevant information to share per compiler; to get started, let's demonstrate the version of glibc if the user built with 'gcc'.

This part is a bit different from what Dscho suggested to be squashed (and I have had on top of v9 series).

Below is a diff between (v9 + SQUASH???) and v10. I think the change in the strftime format is a strict improvement.

Thanks.

Hmph. This is different than what I have in local. Please ignore this entire v10, I've made a mistake in my tooling. I'm sorry about the noise and for not checking over my patches better before mailing.

[PATCH v11 0/5] add git-bugreport tool

Please ignore v10; it seemed that I had a ref .git/bugreport as well as a ref .git/refs/heads/bugreport and the former was pointing somewhere stale, so v10 was identical at least to v9 if not also to v8. :|

This hopefully really does include the MSVC changes as well as the clang changes and addstr noise fixes. I'm really sorry for the noise.

[PATCH v11 1/5] help: move list_config_help to builtin/help

Starting in 3ac68a93fd2, help.o began to depend on builtin/branch.o, builtin/clean.o, and builtin/config.o. This meant that help.o was unusable outside of the context of the main Git executable.

To make help.o usable by other commands again, move list_config_help() into builtin/help.c (where it makes sense to assume other builtin libraries are present).

When command-list.h is included but a member is not used, we start to hear a compiler warning. Since the config list is generated in a fairly different way than the command list, and since commands and config options are semantically different, move the config list into its own header and move the generator into its own script and build rule.

[PATCH v11 2/5] bugreport: add tool to generate debugging info

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.

If users can send us a well-written bug report which contains diagnostic information we would otherwise need to ask the user for, we can reduce the number of question-and-answer round trips between the reporter and the Git contributor.

Users may also wish to send a report like this to their local "Git expert" if they have put their repository into a state they are confused by.

+git-bugreport(1)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-bugreport - Collect information for user to file a bug report
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git bugreport' [(-o | --output-directory) <path>] [(-s | --suffix) <format>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Captures information about the user's machine, Git client, and repository state,
+as well as a form requesting information about the behavior the user observed,
+into a single text file which the user can then share, for example to the Git
+mailing list, in order to report an observed bug.
+
+The following information is requested from the user:
+
+ - Reproduction steps
+ - Expected behavior
+ - Actual behavior
+
+This tool is invoked via the typical Git setup process, which means that in some
+cases, it might not be able to launch - for example, if a relevant config file
+is unreadable. In this kind of scenario, it may be helpful to manually gather
+the kind of information listed above when manually asking for help.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-o <path>::
+--output-directory <path>::
+	Place the resulting bug report file in `<path>` instead of the root of
+	the Git repository.
+
+-s <format>::
+--suffix <format>::
+	Specify an alternate suffix for the bugreport name, to create a file
+	named 'git-bugreport-<formatted suffix>'. This should take the form of a
+	link:strftime[3] format string; the current local time will be used.
+

'test_when_finished' should be at the beginning of the test, otherwise it will have no effect if a command before it were to fail.

[PATCH v11 3/5] bugreport: gather git version and build info

Knowing which version of Git a user has and how it was built allows us to more precisely pin down the circumstances when a certain issue occurs, so teach bugreport how to tell us the same output as 'git version --build-options'.

It's not ideal to directly call 'git version --build-options' because that output goes to stdout. Instead, wrap the version string in a helper within help.[ch] library, and call that helper from within the bugreport library.

[PATCH v11 5/5] bugreport: add compiler info

To help pinpoint the source of a regression, it is useful to know some info about the compiler which the user's Git client was built with. By adding a generic get_compiler_info() in 'compat/' we can choose which relevant information to share per compiler; to get started, let's demonstrate the version of glibc if the user built with 'gcc'.

[PATCH v12 1/5] help: move list_config_help to builtin/help

Starting in 3ac68a93fd2, help.o began to depend on builtin/branch.o, builtin/clean.o, and builtin/config.o. This meant that help.o was unusable outside of the context of the main Git executable.

To make help.o usable by other commands again, move list_config_help() into builtin/help.c (where it makes sense to assume other builtin libraries are present).

When command-list.h is included but a member is not used, we start to hear a compiler warning. Since the config list is generated in a fairly different way than the command list, and since commands and config options are semantically different, move the config list into its own header and move the generator into its own script and build rule.

Quite straight-forward.  Thanks for the clean-up.

[PATCH v12 2/5] bugreport: add tool to generate debugging info

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.

If users can send us a well-written bug report which contains diagnostic information we would otherwise need to ask the user for, we can reduce the number of question-and-answer round trips between the reporter and the Git contributor.

Users may also wish to send a report like this to their local "Git expert" if they have put their repository into a state they are confused by.

+git-bugreport(1)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-bugreport - Collect information for user to file a bug report
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git bugreport' [(-o | --output-directory) <path>] [(-s | --suffix) <format>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Captures information about the user's machine, Git client, and repository state,
+as well as a form requesting information about the behavior the user observed,
+into a single text file which the user can then share, for example to the Git
+mailing list, in order to report an observed bug.
+
+The following information is requested from the user:
+
+ - Reproduction steps
+ - Expected behavior
+ - Actual behavior
+
+This tool is invoked via the typical Git setup process, which means that in some
+cases, it might not be able to launch - for example, if a relevant config file
+is unreadable. In this kind of scenario, it may be helpful to manually gather
+the kind of information listed above when manually asking for help.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-o <path>::
+--output-directory <path>::
+	Place the resulting bug report file in `<path>` instead of the root of
+	the Git repository.
+
+-s <format>::
+--suffix <format>::
+	Specify an alternate suffix for the bugreport name, to create a file
+	named 'git-bugreport-<formatted suffix>'. This should take the form of a
+	link:strftime[3] format string; the current local time will be used.
+

[PATCH v12 3/5] bugreport: gather git version and build info

Knowing which version of Git a user has and how it was built allows us to more precisely pin down the circumstances when a certain issue occurs, so teach bugreport how to tell us the same output as 'git version --build-options'.

It's not ideal to directly call 'git version --build-options' because that output goes to stdout. Instead, wrap the version string in a helper within help.[ch] library, and call that helper from within the bugreport library.

This means that "git-bugreport" that can be a different binary from say "git-remote-curl" (or "git-version" for that matter) would still report whatever version string that was compiled into "bugreport".

Reporting the version of "bugreport" is *not* useless, and what this step adds to the report is good.

But the version number of "bugreport" may not have much to do with the binary the end user is having trouble with, so we'd also want the version of the main part of "git", and other standalone "git" subprograms like "git-remote-curl", reported separately, probably together with $PATH, $GIT_EXEC_PATH and what appears in the directories listed on these environment variables.

If "git version --build-options" writes to its standard output stream, that is a good thing, as it makes it easy to spawn and read what it says via the run_command() API, and there is one less thing to worry about (it would be a bit more cumbersome if the output goes to the standard error stream).

As "git-remote-curl" would also be a separate binary, we'd have to use the same technique to report version number (and perhaps curl's library version and its configuration?), perhaps by teaching the subcommand a new option to dump such details to its standard output.

Using the same technique to report the version about the "git" itself would be consistent thing to do, as a preparation for future steps that reports the details about "git-remote-curl".

Thanks.

Sure. I will include a run_command() call to "git version --build-options" (or is it --build-info?) in the same series where I re-introduce the call to "git-remote-curl", since they will look pretty similar; around that time I will clean up what "git-bugreport" reports about its own version/build info, too.

To be clear, do you want me to include the output of get_compiler_info() in "git version --build-options" when I do that change, too?

In the endgame, there are two kinds of information we'd want to gather and report, I would think.

Ones that can be different per-binary are things like:
 - what version of the source code the binary was compiled from
 - with what compiler options
 - using which compiler and
 - linking with what libraries,
 - where in the filesystem is the binary located

The others are various properties of the system the user is using, and having trouble using, Git on:

 - how many CPUs do we have,
 - how much free memory,
 - is the repository's filesystem case sensitive,
 - what version of 'wish' is being used.

We'd want the former to be reported for each binary that matters, so "git version --build-options" would want to say it, "git remote-curl --build-options" would want to say it, and being different binaries, they may say different things.

There is not much point in duplicating the latter that are not binary specific, so it probably makes sense to gather them inside, and report them from, "git bugreport" itself.

Thanks.

Unlike "what's the verison of 'git'?" and "with what versions of which libraries does the 'git' the user is having trouble with links with?" I mentioned earlier in my review of [3/5], what this step deals with, i.e. "what are these properties of the running system?", is perfectly good to report from "git bugreport" itself.

Looking good.

[PATCH v12 5/5] bugreport: add compiler info

To help pinpoint the source of a regression, it is useful to know some info about the compiler which the user's Git client was built with. By adding a generic get_compiler_info() in 'compat/' we can choose which relevant information to share per compiler; to get started, let's demonstrate the version of glibc if the user built with 'gcc'.

This one is not about "what system are we running on", but more about "how were the various pieces of Git binaries the user has trouble running built?". While it may be useful to learn how "git bugreport" was compiled, the same question about the other binaries of Git (e.g. "git" itself, or "git ls-files" that is builtin) may have different answers. It should be fairly trivial to teach the "git" binaries (i.e. "git" itself plus builtins, and standalone subcommands like "git-remote-curl" and "git-bugreport") to report how they were built (e.g. with what library and compiler) by calling the helpers you added in [3/5] and [5/5] and once that is done, it would be straight-forward to teach "git bugreport" to collect properties of them by invoking them and reading their output via the run_command() interface, as I mentioned in my review on [3/5] earlire.

Thanks.

Thanks Danh - I copied it from the email header, my apologies. Junio, since you replied as well does that mean you updated your copy and I don't need to re-send? (I haven't read the other comments yet, but your comment on the cover letter makes me think you don't want a v13.)

 - Emily

Overall it was a pleasnt read.

Just to avoid misunderstanding, those comments in which I envisioned a way to report versions and attributes on different parts of "git" (and I expect we'd be reporting versions and add-ons to tools like 'wish' that runs gitk and git-gui, 'perl' and 'python' in a similar way---by finding them on the $PATH and asking them who they are) are NOT "without these, the bugreport tool would not be useful", but "we will in time need these, so let's keep them in mind" issues [*1*].

So, I am hoping that this is ready to move to 'next'.
Thanks.
[Footnote]

*1* What we saw here in the review showed us a very good starting point to report the version of the source one binary was built from, and the compiler and library that binary was built with, and various attributes of the system that is running that binary. Thanks to step [1/5], these helper functions can also be linked to help other parts of "git" (like the transport) report the first two (some code may further need to be moved so that they can be called from the built-ins and standalones). The system that the binary is running on would be the same anyway, so there is no need to duplicate that part of the report.
