Subject: [BUG] git bisect start fails when stale bisect data is left behind
Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2011 14:15:34 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAC6WLetwT9UvBY_=Nf38hhkyU1mhmdWHWqscf3ebba1WRGS1LQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
Just bumped into a weird bug: bisect refused to start. It seems some
previous bisect had left around state that referred to a
now-nonexistent branch.
How to reproduce:
$ echo foo > .git/BISECT_START
$ git bisect start HEAD HEAD^
Fails with "fatal: invalid reference:" on git 1.7.6.
