See `mach help try fuzzy`. I encourage you to file bugs on making the usability fit your needs. I would even consider an "auto bisect" mechanism (where it submits N changesets using the same configuration) a reasonable feature request. Since Try scheduling is all in-tree now, we could do that in a single push - possibly even with a single changeset. That will almost certainly be faster than the workflow you are currently practicing. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
