[PATCH] Making it easier to find which change introduced a bug

This adds a new "git bisect" command.

 - "git bisect start"
start bisection search.

 - "git bisect bad <rev>"
mark some version known-bad (if no arguments, then current HEAD)

 - "git bisect good <revs>..."
mark some versions known-good (if no arguments, then current HEAD)

 - "git bisect reset <branch>"
done with bisection search and go back to your work (if
no arguments, then "master").

The way you use it is:

git bisect start
git bisect bad # Current version is bad
git bisect good v2.6.13-rc2 # v2.6.13-rc2 was the last version
# tested that was good

When you give at least one bad and one good versions, it will
bisect the revision tree and say something like:

Bisecting: 675 revisions left to test after this

and check out the state in the middle. Now, compile that kernel, and boot
it. Now, let's say that this booted kernel works fine, then just do

git bisect good # this one is good

which will now say

Bisecting: 337 revisions left to test after this

and you continue along, compiling that one, testing it, and depending on
whether it is good or bad, you say "git bisect good" or "git bisect bad",
and ask for the next bisection.

Until you have no more left, and you'll have been left with the first bad
kernel rev in "refs/bisect/bad".

Oh, and then after you want to reset to the original head, do a

git bisect reset

to get back to the master branch, instead of being in one of the bisection
branches ("git bisect start" will do that for you too, actually: it will
reset the bisection state, and before it does that it checks that you're
not using some old bisection branch).

Not really any harder than doing series of "quilt push" and "quilt pop",
now is it?

[jc: This patch is a rework based on what Linus posted to the
     list.  The changes are:

  - The original introduced four separate commands, which was
    three too many, so I merged them into one with subcommands.

  - Since the next thing you would want to do after telling it
    "bad" and "good" is always to bisect, this version does it
    automatically for you.

  - I think the termination condition was wrong.  The original
    version checked if the set of revisions reachable from next
    bisection but not rechable from any of the known good ones
    is empty, but if the current bisection was a bad one, this
    would not terminate, so I changed it to terminate it when
    the set becomes a singleton or empty.

  - Removed the use of shell array variable.

Linus Torvalds [Fri, 29 Jul 2005 22:50:30 +0000 (15:50 -0700)]
[PATCH] Fix interesting git-rev-list corner case

This corner-case was triggered by a kernel commit that was not in date
order, due to a misconfigured time zone that made the commit appear three
hours older than it was.

That caused git-rev-list to traverse the commit tree in a non-obvious
order, and made it parse several of the _parents_ of the misplaced commit
before it actually parsed the commit itself. That's fine, but it meant
that the grandparents of the commit didn't get marked uninteresting,
because they had been reached through an "interesting" branch.

The reason was that "mark_parents_uninteresting()" (which is supposed to
mark all existing parents as being uninteresting - duh) didn't actually
traverse more than one level down the parent chain.

NORMALLY this is fine, since with the date-based traversal order,
grandparents won't ever even have been looked at before their parents (so
traversing the chain down isn't needed, because the next time around when
we pick out the parent we'll mark _its_ parents uninteresting), but since
we'd gotten out of order, we'd already seen the parent and thus never got
around to mark the grandparents.

Anyway, the fix is simple. Just traverse parent chains recursively.
Normally the chain won't even exist (since the parent hasn't been parsed
yet), so this is not actually going to trigger except in this strange
corner-case.

Add a comment to the simple one-liner, since this was a bit subtle, and I
had to really think things through to understand how it could happen.

 - The $repo/info/refs file lists the name of heads and tags

   SHA1.  This can be used by git-ls-remote command running on

 - The $repo/info/rev-cache file describes the commit ancestry
   reachable from references in the $repo/refs/ directory.  This
   file is in an append-only binary format to make the server
   side friendly to rsync mirroring scheme, and can be read by
   git-show-rev-cache command.

   available, the interdependencies among them, and the head
   commits and tags contained in them.  Along with the other two
   files, this is designed to help clients to make smart pull

The git-receive-pack command is changed to invoke it at the end,
so just after a push to a public repository finishes via "git
push", the server info is automatically updated.

In addition, building of the rev-cache file can be done by a
