* es/bugreport:
git-bugreport.txt: adjust reference to strftime(3)
|
|
The strftime(3) man page is outside of the Git suite. Refererence it as
we do other external man pages and avoid creating a broken link when
generating the HTML documentation.

Occasionally a failure a user is seeing may be related to a specific
hook which is being run, perhaps without the user realizing. While the
contents of hooks can be sensitive - containing user data or process
information specific to the user's organization - simply knowing that a
hook is being run at a certain stage can help us to understand whether
something is going wrong.
Without a definitive list of hook names within the code, we compile our
own list from the documentation. This is likely prone to bitrot, but
designing a single source of truth for acceptable hooks is too much
overhead for this small change to the bugreport tool.

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'.

The contents of uname() can give us some insight into what sort of
system the user is running on, and help us replicate their setup if need
be. The domainname field is not guaranteed to be available, so don't
collect it.

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.

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.
