At first I thought that your idea was to have an option to "git bisect run" so that a "git bisect reset" is run automatically after the bisection is finished. But I search the IRC log and found the discussion here: http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/git?date=2012-09-27 and I found that you said: "there should be an option for git bisect run which executed the "whatever clean command git has like git clean -fdx"./" I understand that, but I wonder what we should do if some people need a "git reset --hard" and if some other people need other options than -dfx. We would need both a --reset and a --clean, or perhaps even a --reset[=(hard|mixed|soft|merge|keep) and a --clean[=<clean-opts>]. And then what if people want to clean only a subdirectory and not everything? And this does not take into account the fact that many people will/should clean using "make clean" or "make distclean" or "rake clean" or something like that, so that a --clean option will not help them.
