logs? I think the reflogs are not included unless "all" is specified. Perhaps
we can unify this description with the beginning of git-diagnose.txt:

  Collects detailed information about the user's machine, Git client, and
  repository state and packages that information into a zip archive.

resulting in

	Create a zip archive containing information about the user's machine,
	Git client, and repository state.

Perhaps here (and git-diagnose.txt) should be really explicit about sharing the
"all" mode output only with trusted parties. Let the user decide what level of
trust is necessary depending on their situation (we don't need to say "open source
repos are fine to share" or something).

This enum makes me think that it might be nice to use this in diagnose.h
along with an array that pairs strings with the enum. We could unify the
options by having 'git diagnose --mode=(basic|all)' which could be
extended in the future with another mode that might be in between the two.

It may also be a waste of time to set up that infrastructure without it
actually mattering in the future, but I thought I'd mention it as an
alternative, in case that inspires you.

Should we allow "none" to reset the value to DIAGNOSE_NONE?

I wondered initially if this should be a usage() call instead. But we have
plenty of examples of using die() to report an issue with a single option
or a combination of options.

The biggest reason for this to be an OPT_CALLBACK_F is because of the
'--diagnose' option (without '='), so an OPT_STRING would not be
appropriate here.

Perhaps this should be renamed to output_dir_len, since we know this is
a directory that will contain all of the output files.

(Just pausing to say this could be create_diagnostics_archive(&zip_path, diagnose)
if we use the enum inside diagnose.c.
