I think it is a very old bug.
The following patch should fix it:
diff --git a/git-bisect.sh b/git-bisect.sh
index 6cda2b5..26a336a 100755
--- a/git-bisect.sh
+++ b/git-bisect.sh
@@ -200,7 +200,8 @@ is_expected_rev() {
check_expected_revs() {
for _rev in "$@"; do
- if ! is_expected_rev "$_rev"
+ _parsed=$(git rev-parse --verify "$_rev")
+ if ! is_expected_rev "$_parsed"
then
rm -f "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_ANCESTORS_OK"
rm -f "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_EXPECTED_REV"
I will send a proper patch later.
Thanks,
Christian.
