At first I thought that your idea was to have an option to git bisect run so that a git bisect reset is run automatically after the bisection is finished. But I search the IRC log and found the discussion here: http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/git?date=2012-09-27 and I found that you said: there should be an option for git bisect run which executed the whatever clean command git has like git clean -fdx./ I understand that, but I wonder what we should do if some people need a git reset --hard and if some other people need other options than -dfx. We would need both a --reset and a --clean, or perhaps even a --reset[=(hard|mixed|soft|merge|keep) and a --clean[=clean-opts]. And then what if people want to clean only a subdirectory and not everything? And this does not take into account the fact that many people will/should clean using make clean or make distclean or rake clean or something like that, so that a --clean option will not help them.

In short, the users can do that easily in their run script, and the definition of clean-up will be different depending on what the run script does (it may do make in which case make clean may be a way, it may do git apply fixup.patch in which case git apply -R fixup.patch may be the way, etc.), so adding --clean does not help the users. Just make the run script clean after itself. If that is the argument, I'd buy that. -- 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
Option for git bisect run to automatically clean up
Hi everybody, I have just run into a problem when I had to issue an explicit cleanup for tracked files after a configure run in the Qt5 project. I have tried to suggest to the people to bring up this idea on the mailing list in order to get this further on. Unfortunately I did not have time to do so, especially for the follow-up. I have also been told it is not a good way of asking on IRC which surprised me a bit, but I am now bringing this up, and I try to also make the follow-up. Hope it is ok. Unfortunately my time is limited so I cannot contribute with that patch myself, but I think it would be a cool convenience feature. Help is appreciated. Thank you in advance!
