From 0bee49c6abf18082a01f5d1a2106608456fb7d5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2007 00:47:53 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] git-bisect: modernize branch shuffling hack When switching to a new rev, we first made "new-bisect" branch to point at the chosen commit, attempt to switch to it, and then finally renamed the new-bisect branch to bisect by hand when successful. This is so that we can catch checkout failure (your local modification may interfere with switching to the chosen version) without losing information on which commit the next attempt should be made. Rewrite it using a more modern form but without breaking the safety.
