This is an interesting point and something I think users could plausibly run
into. I can think of a few of ways to address that:
1. Do nothing, wait for feedback from users.
2. Create hidden option(s) '--report' and/or '--bugreport' in 'git diagnose'
that trigger a warning (or advice?) along the lines of "did you mean 'git
bugreport --diagnose'?" and exit with 'usage()'.
3. Create visible options '--report' and/or '--bugreport' in 'git diagnose'
that invoke 'git bugreport --diagnose'.
I'm leaning towards option 2, but I'd also understand not wanting to clutter
builtins with options it *doesn't* use for the sake of advising a user.
