Limit 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 + --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 + ^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. @@ -440,7 +441,7 @@ short-hand for ^<commit1> <commit2>.
