Subject: git bisect enhancement request
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2020 15:11:19 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJfuBxw2KudBPfpmVqU9VOfnvrKdczU6Us5FWvpj50T88BarHw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

please teach git bisect how to use 2 separate worktrees
for the bisection, toggling between them as bisection progresses,
so that the end result is 2 compiled kernels,
one broken, one good.

perhaps something like

git worktree add A
git worktree add B
git bisect worktrees A B
git bisect start

# and maybe
git worktree rename A ok
git worktree rename B meh

its a minor convenience, yes, but having it done once right,
is better than ad-hoc scripts doing it, each subtly different.
