Over the course of the years, we developed a sub-command that gathers
diagnostic data into a .zip file that can then be attached to bug reports.
This sub-command turned out to be very useful in helping Scalar developers
identify and fix issues.

Changes since v3:

 * We're now using unquote_c_style() instead of rolling our own unquoter.
 * Fixed the added regression test.
 * As pointed out by Scalar's Functional Tests, the
   add_directory_to_archiver() function should not fail when scalar diagnose
   encounters FSMonitor's Unix socket, but only warn instead.
 * Related: add_directory_to_archiver() needs to propagate errors from
   processing subdirectories so that the top-level call returns an error,
   too.

Changes since v2:

 * Clarified in the commit message what the biggest benefit of
   --add-file-with-content is.
 * The <path> part of the -add-file-with-content argument can now contain
   colons. To do this, the path needs to start and end in double-quote
   characters (which are stripped), and the backslash serves as escape
   character in that case (to allow the path to contain both colons and
   double-quotes).
 * Fixed incorrect grammar.
 * Instead of strcmp(<what-we-don't-want>), we now say
   !strcmp(<what-we-want>).
 * The help text for --add-file-with-content was improved a tiny bit.
 * Adjusted the commit message that still talked about spawning plenty of
   processes and about a throw-away repository for the sake of generating a
   .zip file.
 * Simplified the code that shows the diagnostics and adds them to the .zip
   file.
 * The final message that reports that the archive is complete is now
   printed to stderr instead of stdout.

Changes since v1:

 * Instead of creating a throw-away repository, staging the contents of the
   .zip file and then using git write-tree and git archive to write the .zip
   file, the patch series now introduces a new option to git archive and
   uses write_archive() directly (avoiding any separate process).
 * Since the command avoids separate processes, it is now blazing fast on
   Windows, and I dropped the spinner() function because it's no longer
   needed.
 * While reworking the test case, I noticed that scalar [...] <enlistment>
   failed to verify that the specified directory exists, and would happily
   "traverse to its parent directory" on its quest to find a Scalar
   enlistment. That is of course incorrect, and has been fixed as a "while
   at it" sort of preparatory commit.
 * I had forgotten to sign off on all the commits, which has been fixed.
 * Instead of some "home-grown" readdir()-based function, the code now uses
   for_each_file_in_pack_dir() to look through the pack directories.
 * If any alternates are configured, their pack directories are now included
   in the output.
 * The commit message that might be interpreted to promise information about
   large loose files has been corrected to no longer promise that.
 * The test cases have been adjusted to test a little bit more (e.g.
   verifying that specific paths are mentioned in the output, instead of
   merely verifying that the output is non-empty).

  archive: optionally add "virtual" files

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?

Could this also not be useful in fsck, as --diagnose? That's the go-to command when there are issues for many users.

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.

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).
