Feature request: git bisect merge to usable base

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

 



Hi-

I'm currently bisecting a Linux bug on my laptop.  The starting good
commit is v4.4-rc3 and the starting bad commit is v4.4-rc7.
Unfortunately, anything much older than v4.4-rc3 doesn't boot at all.

I'd like to say:

$ git bisect merge-to v4.4-rc3

or similar.  The effect would be that, rather than testing commits in
between the good and bad commits, it would test the result of merging
those commits with v4.4-rc3.

Obviously the syntax could be tweaked a lot, but I think the concept
could be quite handy.

Thanks,
Andy
