Subject: [PATCH 2/5] git-bisect.txt: BISECT_HEAD is not that special
Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2023 12:32:42 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231215203245.3622299-3-gitster@pobox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231215203245.3622299-1-gitster@pobox.com>
The description of "git bisect --no-checkout" called BISECT_HEAD a
"special ref", but there is nothing special about it. It merely is
yet another pseudoref.
