From: Abhijit Bhopatkar Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2008 10:01:54 GMT Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: Mention that 'bisect' is reserved branch name Message-ID: <2fcfa6df0811070201g75bfe659x38a4f14b1cf793c6@mail.gmail.com> "git bisect" uses 'bisect' branch to carry out it's operations. However "git branch" documentation does mention it. Add a note that 'bisect' can not be used as generic branch name by the user.
