Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] bisect: introduce first-parent flag
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2020 20:27:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200730002735.87655-3-alipman88@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200730002735.87655-1-alipman88@gmail.com>

Upon seeing a merge commit when bisecting, this option may be used to
follow only the first parent.

In detecting regressions introduced through the merging of a branch, the
merge commit will be identified as introduction of the bug and its
ancestors will be ignored.

This option is particularly useful in avoiding false positives when a
merged branch contained broken or non-buildable commits, but the merge
itself was OK.
