What's the point in testing it?
If "./bisect-mm apply" landed you to obviously wrong kernel, with v2 you can do a couple of "quilt {push,pop}" by hand. "./bisect {bad,good}" marks _current_ patch as reported by "quilt top". - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
