A question for experts on #git bisecting the #Linux #Kernel:
Assume someone runs into a regression when updating from 6.1.90[1] to 6.6.30 that needs bisecting. What do you suggest:
* Check manually which mainline release (e.g. 6.2, 6.3, ...) introduced the problem and afterwards bisect between that and the previous release.
* Bisect straight between 6.1 and 6.6.30.
1/ I guess I would definitely go for…
[1] let's assume that 6.1 was fine for this scenario to keep things simpler
