[PATCH] D60557: Explain --reproduce option.

[Peter Smith via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

peter.smith added a comment.

It would be good to get at least the tar file part added to the ld.lld --help option, I remember having to use the file command the first time I used --reproduce and I think more people will use --help than look in the man page.

I think this will work fine. A suggestion that gives a bit more detail on the contents, not got a strong opinion so by all means keep the original.

Write a tar file containing all the input files needed to reproduce the link, a text file called response.txt containing the command line options and a text file called version.txt containing the output of ld.lld --version. The archive when unpacked can be used to re-run the linker with the same options and input files.
