Hi,

As a distro kernel grunt, I sometimes find myself in the situation of having to track down the commit that fixed a given problem so that I can backport it to an older kernel. Sometimes I'm smart enough to figure it out myself, other times I'm not. ;-) It would be helpful if git bisect could help figure out in what commit a bug was fixed as opposed to introduced. Is there any interest in implementing such a feature?

Thanks, Jeff
