No, I think the comment and the test are correct. The first test tests situation H1--H2--H3--H4 ^ ^ ^ ^ | bad | bad good skipped the second test tests situation H1--H2--H3--H4 ^ ^ ^ ^ | skipped bad good good So in both cases we can decide about the bad commit besides the skipped commit. And if the bisection algorithm picks H2 out of H2/H3 (which are equivalent) then second test tests this situation fully, if the bisection algorithm picks H3, then the first test tests this situation fully.
