Subject: Wishlist: git help bisect should mention "stop" keyword
Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2013 09:44:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130209084403.GA14356@rhlx01.hs-esslingen.de> (raw)

Hi,

the man page (git version 1.7.10.4) is a bit non-symmetric
since git bisect has the start param, but when searching for "stop"
(nothing more obvious than that, right?),
one comes up empty --> usability issue.

The appropriate action complementary to start appears to be
git bisect reset, thus its description definitely ought to include a "stop"
keyword.

Description as of 1.7.10.4 is

       After a bisect session, to clean up the bisection state and
return to
       the original HEAD, issue the following command:

           $ git bisect reset

which could be changed into

       After a bisect session, to clean up the bisection state and
return to
       the original HEAD (in other words, to "stop" bisect),
       issue the following command:

           $ git bisect reset
