Hi,

During a git bisect session I ended up with the following in the .git/BISECT_LOG:

# bad: [38a382ae5dd4f4d04e3046816b0a41836094e538] Kobject: convert arch/alpha arch/arm arch/avr32 arch/blackfin arch/cris arch/frv arch/h8300 arch/ia64 arch/m32r arch/m68k arch/m68knommu arch/mips arch/parisc arch/powerpc arch/ppc arch/s390 arch/sh arch/sh64 arch/sparc arch/sparc64 arch/um arch/v850 arch/x86 arch/x86_64 arch/xtensa from kobject_unregister() to kobject_put() git-bisect bad 38a382ae5dd4f4d04e3046816b0a41836094e538

>From the following command you can see shat happened: the 'arch/*' from the 
commit log was expanded in the comment line in the bisect log file.
$ git bisect bad
