Ah, right, I didn't pay enough attention, sorry. Step 0 is the last one, but you need to rate it as good or bad before reset presents the result. History is not really linear in git's own repository. But if you didn't reset bisect's status you may still be able to finish it by running "git bisect good a26bc613" now.

(And if that doesn't work then at least you now have a much quicker way to check using the long directory name..)
