The situation that I'm faced quite frequently is that after I find a
regression, I cannot tell which released version did not have the
breakage. Hence, the first thing I have to do is to find a good commit.
Therefore, I jump around in ancient history until I find a good commit.
Then I start bisect. I certainly do NOT want to be warped back to this
ancient commit by 'bisect reset'.
