The *--bisect* flag limits output to the one commit object which is roughly halfway between the included and excluded commits. Thus, -if "git-rev-list --bisect foo ^bar ^baz" outputs 'midpoint', the output -of "git-rev-list foo ^midpoint" and "git-rev-list midpoint ^bar ^baz" +if 'git-rev-list --bisect foo ^bar +^baz' outputs 'midpoint', the output +of 'git-rev-list foo ^midpoint' and 'git-rev-list midpoint +^bar +^baz' would be of roughly the same length. Finding the change which introduces a regression is thus reduced to a binary search: repeatedly generate and test new 'midpoint's until the commit chain is of length one. |
