Subject: Bug report: Documentation error in git-bisect man description
Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2017 00:02:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r347swz1.fsf@sonnengebleicht.fritz.box> (raw)

Hi,

there is a mistake in the git-bisect description.
The second paragraph of it says ‘the terms "old" and "new" can be used
in place of "good" and "bad"’. So from a logical point of view the
description part stating the usage syntax should be:

git bisect (bad|good) [<rev>]
git bisect (old|new) [<rev>...]

instead of

git bisect (bad|new) [<rev>]
git bisect (good|old) [<rev>...]

Checked man page version of 2.11.0, but it is in my local 2.10.2 git as well.

Best regards,
Manuel
