Hi,

the man page (git version 1.7.10.4) is a bit non-symmetric since git bisect has the start param, but when searching for "stop" (nothing more obvious than that, right?), one comes up empty --> usability issue.

The appropriate action complementary to start appears to be git bisect reset, thus its description definitely ought to include a "stop" keyword.

Description as of 1.7.10.4 is
       After a bisect session, to clean up the bisection state and
return to
       the original HEAD, issue the following command:
           $ git bisect reset
which could be changed into
       After a bisect session, to clean up the bisection state and
return to
       the original HEAD (in other words, to "stop" bisect),
       issue the following command:
           $ git bisect reset
