Feature request: git bisect merge to usable base

Hi- I'm currently bisecting a Linux bug on my laptop. The starting good commit is v4.4-rc3 and the starting bad commit is v4.4-rc7. Unfortunately, anything much older than v4.4-rc3 doesn't boot at all. I'd like to say: $ git bisect merge-to v4.4-rc3 or similar. The effect would be that, rathe

Verifiable git archives?

2014-01-08 Thread Andy Lutomirski
It's possible, in principle, to shove enough metadata into the output of 'git archive' to allow anyone to verify (without cloning the repo) to verify that the archive is a correct copy of a given commit. Would this be considered a useful feature? Presumably there would be a 'git untar' command th
