-To minimize work for OpenOCD developers, you can include
-all the information below.  If you feel that some of the
-items below are unnecessary for a clear bug report, you
-leave them out.
+Also, please check the bug database to see if a ticket for

-- If this is a regression, include logs for working and broken version
-- If this is a regression, please find out the precise version that
-  caused the regression.  This can be done via a binary search; For
-  example: if testing version 550 works but 600 fail, then try 575, etc.
+- Logs using <code>debug_level 3</code> (or with '-d 3' on the command line)
+- If the report is for a regression:
+  - Include logs for both working and broken versions.
+  - Find the precise version that caused the regression by binary search.
+    You can use "git bisect" to expedite this binary search:

+If possible, please develop and attach a patch that helps to expose or
