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.

Thanks.
