upgraded python version of git bisect (binary search)

Git 8sect

This is an improved version of the git binary search (bisect) script. It can work on merge nodes (2+ merged branches), trying to visit the least possible amount of nodes. The command line is almost the same of bisect.

Update: now it is possible to define the bad and good commits whether by Id or by Date.

Usage

8sect.py [-h] (-c | -d | -t) [-s SCRIPT] bad_commit good_commit

$ python ~/8sect.py -c 49dd4dd0b76448274e41a3d2a0c761930b6c111e 8c2a21e7638e45c74df8f6da2dd800043a4ca5ee -s 'python /home/Desktop/benchmark.py'
