Indeed it is spelled `--ancestry-path`. And interestingly enough you
may use it multiple times with the wanted effect in our case (e.g when
the user has multiple good commit and a single bad commit before
running the bisect itself). Also it is `--first-parent` (not
`--first-parent-show`), but I do not understand why do we need this
option? What kind of issues does `--ancestry-path` have?
