I think it's better to avoid the passive tone, for example like this:

"To see the currently remaining suspects in 'gitk', you issue the following 
command during the bisection process:"

I'd prefer something like:

"This tells the bisect process that no commit between `v2.5` excluded and 
`v2.6` included can be tested."

Otherwise it looks good to me.
