+--ignore-checkout-failure::
++
+This option, specified on the "git bisect start" subcommand, causes
+bisect to ignore checkout failures during the bisection process. This allows
+git bisect to be used on repositories that contain damaged trees. The
+user should expect that, in cases where checkout fails, the detached
+HEAD refers to the trial commit, but the working tree and index
+may differ from that commit.
