Re: [RFC/PATCH] bisect: teach "skip" to accept special arguments like "A..B"

Christian Couder [off-list ref] writes:

The current "git bisect skip" syntax is "git bisect skip [<rev>...]"
so it's already possible to skip a range of revisions using
something like:

$ git bisect skip $(git rev-list A..B)

where A and B are the bounds of the range we want to skip.

This patch teaches "git bisect skip" to accept:

$ git bisect skip A..B

as an abbreviation for the former command.

Although I fully realize that the established semantics of A..B in git is
bottom-exclusive, top-inclusive, and this suggestion breaks the UI
uniformity by deviating from that convention, I have to wonder if it would
be more useful if you let the bottom commit (A in your example) also be
skipped.

I would suspect that it would be more useful than the "replace" one, but
that is a separate issue.
