Oh, yes, very true; but it is very close. But the commit that git bisect reset warps me to is perhaps 1000 steps in history away. I certainly do not want to go there, ever, because I want to go back near the bad commit right away. (Think of fewer files changed means less build time.) If git bisect reset would check out the bad commit, this would be *very* convenient.
