RFC: git bisect worktrees ../wk-A:../wk-B

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

 



hello all,

it would be super convenient if git bisect was able
to flip-flop between 2 (or more) worktrees while bisecting.

This would leave both A, B in re-test-able states,
allowing detailed forensics on the differences.

if this were a well-known feature, I could imagine that
tools like rr would be enhanced to exploit it,
due to the lure of a tightly controlled A-B test environment,
maybe even doing side by side record & replay
to find where things go differently.

and perhaps:

git bisect try <commit>   # go with a hunch

this would check out the commit,
then testing would determine good/bad
sort of the opposite of skip.

git bisect try HEAD~20 bad [ HEAD ]

here bisect doesnt pick the next, it follows your hunch

thanks for your consideration,
~jimc
