You can try "git bisect skip", but in general the better choice is to just do git bisect visualize to open up gitk with the current set of possible targets, and then just pick a likely point by hand, and do git reset --hard and try that one instead. There's some talk about this in "man git-bisect" but maybe it's not very good. Linus
