The goal of this patch series is to check if good revisions are ancestor of the bad revision without forking a process to launch "git rev-list $good ^$bad". To do that it introduces an "unparse_commit" function that may be usefull in other cases, for example see: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/114916 Ps: sorry to send this cover letter late because of a bug in the script I used to send the series. bisect: rework some rev related functions to make them more reusable commit: add function to unparse a commit and its parents bisect: check ancestors without forking a "git rev-list" process bisect.c | 79 +++++++++++++++++++----------------------- commit.c | 20 +++++++++++ commit.h | 2 + t/t6030-bisect-porcelain.sh | 13 +------ 4 files changed, 59 insertions(+), 55 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
