The conversion makes sense, but why is it a bad thing to say git bisect bad maint when 'maint' is not what you checked out in the current bisect run in the first place (perhaps you checked if it is good or bad manually before you started bisecting)? It is not a bad thing to test another commit than the one that has been checked out and then to say if it is good or bad. But if you do that then it is safer to check if a merge base should be tested. I can discuss this point further and there are indeed some optimisations we could implement in this area, but I think it is better to try to just fix the bug first. diff --git a/git-bisect.sh b/git-bisect.sh index 6cda2b5..2fc07ac 100755 --- a/git-bisect.sh +++ b/git-bisect.sh @@ -237,15 +237,18 @@ bisect_state() { check_expected_revs $rev ;; 2,bad|*,good|*,skip) This part accepts arbitrary number of revs when running good and skip, e.g. git bisect good maint master next and it loops Yeah. shift -eval='' +hash_list='' for rev in $@ ... +for rev in $hash_list +do +bisect_write $state $rev +done +check_expected_revs $hash_list ;; But check_expected_revs loops and leaves the loop early when it finds anything that is not expected. ... goes and looks ...

Yeah, that's the idea. If you have a better name for check_expected_revs(), I can change it in another patch. And yeah, check_good_are_ancestors_of_bad() is expensive to compute and also expensive because it might mean that more tests have to be performed by the user to be safe. OK, will queue.

[PATCH 1/2] bisect: parse revs before passing them to check_expected_revs()
When running for example git bisect bad HEAD or git bisect good master, the parameter passed to git bisect (bad|good) has to be parsed into a commit hash before checking if it is the expected commit or not. We could do that in is_expected_rev() or in check_expected_revs(), but it is already done in bisect_state(). Let's just store the hash values that result from this parsing, and then reuse them after all the parsing is done. This way we can also use a for loop over these values to call bisect_write() on them, instead of using eval. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder chrisc...@tuxfamily.org --- I think that it is a better patch than the one I sent previously to the list as with this one we parse revs only once.
