Yes, I plan to add some options to git bisect subcommands.

For example "git bisect run" could accept the following options:

--not
mark current revision as bad instead of good and as good instead of bad

--strict
all exit code except 0 and 1 abort the bisect run process

--good <rev1>
--bad <rev2>
use rev1 as good and rev2 as bad

--check or --test
run the script once and then do nothing if the result is good

Are there other options that people want ?

Thanks,
Christian.
