If this gives an observation of the behavior of the current code,
please write it in the present tense.

I often find myself, after the culprit is found, running 'git
reset --hard' or 'git bisect reset' to jump to the problematic
commit to investigate further.  If '--auto-reset' leaves me
checked out on that bad commit, that would be a very welcome
change.  If it only returns me to where I started before the
bisection, well, 'Meh'.
