[PATCH v3 2/3] bisect: when skipping, choose a commit away from a skipped commit

From
Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
Date
Jun 6, 2009, 04:41 UTC
Message-ID
<20090606044136.4031.48873.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
In-Reply-To
<20090606043853.4031.78284.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>

To do that a new function "apply_skip_ratio" is added and another function "managed_skipped" is created to wrap both "filter_skipped" and the previous one.

In "managed_skipped" we detect when we should choose a commit away from a skipped one and then we automatically choose a skip ratio to pass to "apply_skip_ratio".

The ratio is choosen so that it alternates between 1/5, 2/5 and 3/5.

In "apply_skip_ratio", we ignore a given ratio of all the commits that could be tested.
