No need to spend another 4 days on this, if most of the bisection is OK. You can replay a corrected git bisection log quickly, by doing: git-bisect reset git-bisect < bisect.log Ingo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
