 ## Reporting bugs
 
-All problem/bug reports should include a reproduction recipe in form
-of a Go program which starts out with an empty repository and runs a
-series of Furgit functions/methods and/or Git commands to trigger the

-Please take this request very seriously; 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.
