Subject: Feature request: don't require both bad and good when bisecting
Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2012 17:29:57 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120318212957.GS1219@chaosreigns.com> (raw)

I'd like to be able to tell get only that I know the latest commit is bad,
and have it go find a good commit, then do the bisecting.  Maybe something
like the opposite of a binary search, start with the last commit, then
second to last, then 4th to last, 8th to last, etc., till it finds a good
commit.
