I suspect you would have to have it forever and everywhere. After all your bisect can hit a version with Git.xs and then next build suggested by bisect may be a version without it. And the user is doing that bisect long after we release version 47. The worst part is that the version bisect suggests that does not have Git.xs may be a version in the past -- which we obviously cannot apply your patch to. - 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
