Did git bisect go down a merge commit ? It does for me if I try that and
asks to test that merge first. If you get that wrong it can get very
confused.
That's all I can think of... do you have the bisection log just in
case ?
Also you can use gitk -- arch/powerpc to look at the changes to powerpc
code and try manually random points before/after that if you think
bisect isn't doing the right thing.
Cheers,
Ben.
