Subject: "git bisect run make" adequate to locate first unbuildable commit?
Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2018 08:20:24 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.21.1802090817550.6248@android-a172fe96dd584b41> (raw)


  writing a short tutorial on "git bisect" and, all the details of
special exit code 125 aside, if one wanted to locate the first
unbuildable commit, would it be sufficient to just run?

  $ git bisect run make

  as i read it, make returns either 0, 1 or 2 so there doesn't appear
to be any possibility of weirdness with clashing with a 125 exit code.
am i overlooking some subtle detail here i should be aware of? thanks.
