It won't, in such cases. But you can also git reset --hard another_commit_id (while doing git bisect) if it fixes this problem (e.g. some next commit).
And you can skip uninteresting parts of the tree when starting git bisect (though if the cause is in skipped parts, the results will be meaningless). -- Krzysztof Halasa -- 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/
