I hate to be saying this, but this is a strong indication that consistency with "start $bad $good..." must be broken. If the person who has been working on this topic for a few iterations in the past few days cannot get it right, no ordinary user can. With or without a mnemonic hint "N comes before O, so does B before G". Of course we cannot just say "git bisect terms old new". That would only invite "eh, I do not remember, which between terms and start take the old one first?" without helping people. The best I can come up with is to forbid positional arguments to this subcommand and always require them to be given like so: git bisect terms --old=fast --new=slow git bisect terms --new=slow --old=fast We may want to start supporting git bisect start --new=master --old=maint while at it and then gently nudging people to stop using git bisect start master maint by showing depreation notice. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
