So often I do mark a commit id accidentally wrongly as bad/good. Therefore git bisect lands into the "wrong" half. As a consequence all subsequent bisects are senseless. Visualizing all infos from "git bisect log" would help to see such mistakes. <few minutes later> Ick, and now I'm reading your mail again, tried gitk <start>..<end> - that's what I want, thx. I wasn't aware that gitk uses the info from BISECT_LOG :-) Knowing this helps me to interrupt a "git bisect run ...", restarting my KDE, continuing the bisecting later and still having the full picture of the overall git bisect process. Thx again for clarification. -- MfG/Sincerely Toralf Förster pgp finger print: 7B1A 07F4 EC82 0F90 D4C2 8936 872A E508 7DB6 9DA3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
