+## Reporting bugs
+
+Bug reports ideally include a reproduction recipe: a Go program which starts
+out with an empty repository and calls Furgit and/or Git commands to trigger
+undesirable behavior.
+
+Please ask for help with writing your regression test before asking for your
+problem to be fixed. Time invested in writing a regression test saves time
+wasted on back-and-forth discussion about how the problem can be reproduced. A
+regression test will need to be written in any case to verify a fix and
+prevent the problem from resurfacing.
+
+If writing an automated test really turns out to be impossible, please explain
+in very clear terms how the problem can be reproduced.
