[PATCH] Create '--merges-only' option for 'git bisect'

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

 



When ran with '--merges-only', git bisect will only look at merge commits -- commits with 2 or more parents or the initial commit.

Notes:
    Proof of concept of a feature that I have wanted in Git for a while. In my daily work my company uses GitHub, which creates lots of merge commits. In general, tests are only ran on the tip of a branch before merging, so the different commits within a merge commit are allowed not to be buildable. Therefore 'git bisect' often doesn't work since it will give lots of false positives for anything that is not a merge commit. If we could have a feature to only bisect merge commits then it would be easier to pinpoint which merge causes any particular issue. After that, a bisect could be done within the merge to pinpoint futher. As a follow-up to this patch -- we could potentially create a feature that automatically continues into regular bisect within the bad merge commit after completed '--merges-only' bisection.
