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).
