[PATCH v13 8/8] bisect: change bisect function to update BISECT_HEAD, rather than HEAD.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This function modifies git-bisect so that the --no-checkout option
uses BISECT_HEAD rather than HEAD to record the current bisection
head.

The intent is to reduce the confusion that uses of --no-checkout
may experience when using the --no-checkout option since the bisection
process will no longer introduce spurious differences between the
HEAD reference and the working tree and index.
