    the situation is simpler than that: there is a /known/ bug, and i marked
    the bugfix commit as 'good'. I never met such a multiple-bugs scenario
    before and forgot that git-bisect could easily pick a tree without this
    essential bugfix and would not be able to make a distinction between the
    two types of badness.

    I'll try what i've described in the previous mail: mark all bisection
    points that do not include f3ccb06f as 'good' - thus 'merging' the
    known-bad area with the first known-good commit, and thus eliminating it
    from the bisection space.

    (but it might also be useful to have a "git-bisect must-include" kind of
    command that would allow this to be automated: mark a particular tree as
    an essential component of the search space.)
