yes.

You don't need to start the bisect again.  `git bisect reset` will clean up the
bisect and reset your current HEAD to where it was when started the bisect.  At
that point just run `git reset --hard 77497f2735ad6e29c55475e15e9790dbfa2c2ef8`
or 'git checkout -b testing 77497f2735ad6e29c55475e15e9790dbfa2c2ef8` to
checkout the specific commit you want to test.  The second method creates a new
branch called testing with HEAD set to the specified commit.  The reset command
resets the HEAD of the current tree to the specified commit.
