Good idea! I actually had a similar idea recently, but forgot to open a ticket for it. Thanks! |

It is useful to have a file lying around that lists the options there were chosen in the installer. This addresses git-for-windows/git#454 Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

…ions By using the '--id' option, we get around any collisions that might happen in the msstore. See microsoft/VFSForGit#1756 for a similar resolution to this problem on that side.

#427 'establish a stable registry key for the location and installer options' recored various paths, however a common request to those who report bugs, is what "install options did they select?".
This suggestion is that the broader install options also be recorded, and that a small helper app be provided to read them back, so that consistent bug reports info can be provided (the helper app may well be able to say what processes & OS it was being run from to clear up those issues as well ;-)
Just a thought (does it even have any mileage?)..
