What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
1. git bisect start --term-new=fixed --term-old=unfixed master HEAD~10
2. git bisect skip

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
Git should mark the commit as skipped and change HEAD to a different commit.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
The commit was marked as skipped, but HEAD was not changed.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
After running bisect skip, HEAD was still at the same commit as before,
instead of having changed to a new that I can test. The usual output about
steps left to test and the new commit was also missing, skip did not output
anything.

Anything else you want to add:
- If I don't provide any --term-* options, skip works as expected.
- The revisions provided in the reproduction steps doesn't matter, they're
  just an example.
- I tried running from the next branch, and it happened there too.

I can reproduce the issue, thanks.

The issue still persists without --term-* options on my computer.

To reproduce in git.git:
   1. git bisect start
   2. git bisect new v2.31.0
   3. git bisect old v2.30.0
   4. git bisect skip

[CC] I'd CCed Miriam and Pranit (who submitted git-bisect in C) and Jeff
for the issue.

Right, the issue persists with those commands here too. So it apparently
happens as long as you don't use good/bad, but with good/bad it works as
expected.

Seems interesting, git bisect skip only works on good/bad terms but not on
other terms (and not even on old/new)

I saw similar test on t/t6030-bisect-porcelain.sh (hint: find test
that test for skip) , but I don't know whether that test will pass.
I CC'ed Christian Couder for now.

Thanks for a report.

I suspect that this is a fairly recent regression.  With Git 2.30.2,
"bisect skip" does flip HEAD and mark the commit to as untestable.

Can you "bisect" the problem?  There aren't that many commits that
touched bisection code during the period.

Yes, I ran it now. The commit introducing the regression is:

    bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_skip` shell function in C
    
    Reimplement the `bisect_skip()` shell function in C and also add
    `bisect-skip` subcommand to `git bisect--helper` to call it from
    git-bisect.sh
    
    Using `--bisect-skip` subcommand is a temporary measure to port shell
    function to C so as to use the existing test suite.

The current git bisect breakage happens when skipping in the middle of
bisect session which is started with --term-new and --term-old
arguments. This test expect that HEAD changes after skipping, in other
words HEAD before and after skipping must be different.

NOTE: this patch is not intended for integrating into git.git, but
rather this patch is written to demonstrate this breakage. I hope that
the test can be added to t6030-bisect-porcelain.sh, and make this patch
redundant.

Then perhaps add it to where you think it belongs to before you
post?

In any case, let's critique the patch a bit for future reference,
with a hope that you'd be contributing more ;-).

We do that in the first "test_expect_success setup '... code ...'" block
to catch breakages in the initialization.

Missing "test_done".

Trygve Aaberge reported the current git bisect breakage on [1].
After starting bisection with --term-new and --term-old arguments to git
bisect start, skipping with git bisect skip does not change HEAD as
expected.

Let's add the test to catch this breakage.

  * remove exec </dev/null (I don't know what it means)
  * repo initialization is now on test_expect_success block (as

I expected, as you said in your first version, that it would be
added as part of an existing test script for "git bisect".  And I
suspect that you can reuse the history the existing tests in the
script already use, so you won't have to add the first "initialize"
piece.  If the tested sequence should work but does not yet work due
to lack of a fix to a known bug, the test should be marked as
test_expect_failure instead of test_expect_success.

>   * style changes requested by Junio

Heh, I didn't request anything.  I merely pointed out the parts that
violate the style guide, so if anything, the guide requested you and
I was just a messenger ;-).

Thanks.

So will this patch be queued? Or should I send the patch adding this
test to t6030 instead of separate test script here?
