Subject: skipping commits via commit-msg contents
Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2010 12:21:20 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTikYcODU96J-cVYCIad1yrd5zGklVj2OV4UT2PxC@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

sometimes its desirable to commit incomplete work separately,
for example a struct change thats intended to get compiler to report
where changes are needed.

if git bisect were to recognize  --skip-bisect  in the subject line
(or in commit-message somewhere, say top or bottom),
then bisection could proceed silently past such commits.

This would also allow rebasing a patchset to markup crappy commits
which need further work.

worth having ?
