The problems were: - error messages refer to "good" and "bad" with the original, unreversed meaning, which could be confusing (but see later in the thread!). - "git bisect visualize" doesn't get the memo about the new worldview. - it seems that some people lost interest after a while. None of these seems totally fatal --- as a new feature, it would not be breaking anyone's workflow, especially if the potentially confusing bits are clearly documented. Thanks.
