This bit me badly the one time I did a git bisect; it kept ping- ponging around a big change (sata? xtables?) that required me to answer the same two dozen questions about ten different times. If git-bisect itself could manage .config as part of the process, reverting to the one used with the most-recently-in-the-past try when it backs up to a revision, that would be, you know, wonderful. --Pete ---------------------------------- Pete Harlan ArtSelect, Inc. harlan@artselect.com http://www.artselect.com ArtSelect is a subsidiary of a21, Inc. - 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/
