So let's improve it a little. It is very much appreciated that you report a problem and moreover provide a patch. > --- git-1.5.4/git-bisect~ 2008-02-09 13:37:16.000000000 +0100 > +++ git-1.5.4/git-bisect 2008-04-26 01:26:19.000000000 +0200 Unfortunately in this case it seems that your git version is too old and the problem may have been fixed in newer versions. See: http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=commit;h=0f497e75f05cdf0c0c1278eaba898cda6f118d71 http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=commit;h=b577bb925e745845155c6f51eae841c339ce68f6 So I think you should upgrade to git 1.5.5.1 and if possible tell us if you still get the same error message. Thanks, Christian.
