[WIP PATCH 1/3] git bisect old/new

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

 



From: Christian Couder <chriscool@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When not looking for a regression during a bisect but for a fix or a
change in another given property, it can be confusing to use 'good'
and 'bad'.

This patch introduce `git bisect new` and `git bisect old` as an
alternative to 'bad' and good': the commits which have the most
recent version of the property must be marked as `new` and the ones
with the older version as `old`.

The output will be the first commit after the change in the property.
During a new/old bisect session you cannot use bad/good commands and
vice-versa.

`git bisect replay` works fine for old/new bisect sessions.

Some commands are still not available for old/new:

     * git bisect start [<new> [<old>...]] is not possible: the
       commits will be treated as bad and good.
     * git rev-list --bisect does not treat the revs/bisect/new and
       revs/bisect/old-SHA1 files.
     * git bisect visualize seem to work partially: the tags are
       displayed correctly but the tree is not limited to the bisect
       section.

We took account of most of the "easy" reviews that were discuted two years ago.
We hope we didn't missed any.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/199758

We corrected various issues that were not reported: 
-one that caused a "fatal ... not a valid ref" at the end of the bisection.
-the autostart was causing issues, the following lines were working :
git bisect new HEAD
git bisect bad HEAD
git bisect good aGoodCommit

The hard review which we were thinking on was the issue of the maintaining
of old/new and allow easy support of new "tags" like yes/no in the future.
I tried to remove the maximum of bad/good and old/new which were hard wrote in
the code but I'm not completly satisfied. This patch is clearly a v1.

We're currently working on:

* rebasing the history of the patch
* git rev-list --bisect does not treat the revs/bisect/new and
revs/bisect/old-SHA1 files.
* git bisect visualize seem to work partially: the tags are displayed
correctly but the tree is not limited to the bisect section.
* adding tests about old/new

Some other problems that might also be considerred later :
* change/add valid terms (e.g "unfixed/fixed" instead of "old/new")
*
* git bisect start [<new> [<old>...]] is not possible: the commits
will be treated as bad and good.

+Alternative terms: bisect new and bisect old
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you are not at ease with the terms "bad" and "good", perhaps
+because you are looking for the commit that introduced a fix, you can
+alternatively use "new" and "old" instead.
+But note that you cannot mix "bad" and good" with "new" and "old".
+
+------------------------------------------------
+git bisect new [<rev>]
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Marks the commit as new, which means the version is fixed.
+It is the equivalent of "git bisect bad [<rev>]".
+
+------------------------------------------------
+git bisect old [<rev>...]
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Marks the commit as old, which means the bug is present.
+It is the equivalent of "git bisect good [<rev>...]".
+
+You must run `git bisect start` without commits as argument and run
+`git bisect new <rev>`/`git bisect old <rev>...` after to add the
+commits.
