Re: Why can't I use git-bisect to find the first *good* commit?

So would I. I think the behavior of git bisect should be changed.
Right now, it's trying to find the first bad commit. Instead, it
should be trying to find the first commit where the code's good/bad
state *changed*. IOW, it should be able to handle both of the
following cases:

good <--- oldest
good
good
bad <--- the commit we want bisect to find
bad
bad <--- newest

bad <--- oldest
bad
bad
good <--- the commit we want bisect to find
good
good <--- newest

It shouldn't matter which end we start on, so long as one end gets
marks good, and the other end gets marked bad.
