Another reason to have 2 algorithms is that when you use "git bisect
run" you might want to use the PRNG one because:
- you don't care much if the bisection use some more steps (as long as
it does not get stuck)
- you can't do much if it get stuck
On the other hand, when you bisect manually:
- you probably won't like it if you are asked to test some commits
that won't give a lot of information
- if it get stuck, you can manually use "git bisect visualize" and/or
"git bisect skip <range>" and/or some other manual commands to do
something about it
Regards,
Christian.
