Hi,

there is a mistake in the git-bisect description. The second paragraph of it says ‘the terms "old" and "new" can be used in place of "good" and "bad"’. So from a logical point of view the description part stating the usage syntax should be:

git bisect (bad|good) [<rev>] git bisect (old|new) [<rev>...]

instead of

git bisect (bad|new) [<rev>] git bisect (good|old) [<rev>...]

Checked man page version of 2.11.0, but it is in my local 2.10.2 git as well.

Best regards, Manuel
