Hi!
I was trying to do a git bisect on 2.6.22-git6 and 2.6.22-git8. For
which I get following error :
root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git bisect good v2.6.22-git6
Bad rev input: v2.6.22-git6
The -git snapshots are made automatically by kernel.org, and their name
is not included in the git repository. You could create tags for them
like this:
git tag v2.6.22-git6 8f41958bdd577731f7411c9605cfaa9db6766809
git tag v2.6.22-git8 a5fcaa210626a79465321e344c91a6a7dc3881fa
... and afterwards you can use those revision names with bisect (or
other git commands). I've got the commit IDs (i.e. those mysterious 40
hex digits above) from the first line of the changelogs; their URLs are:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.22-git6.log
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.22-git8.log
I found the commit ids in following file as well :
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.22-git6.id
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.22-git8.id
But telling good/bad points to git bisect still fails, whether I pass
the commit-id or the tags I created with commands given by René :
root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git bisect good
8f41958bdd577731f7411c9605cfaa9db6766809
cat: .git/BISECT_NAMES: No such file or directory
