When ran with '--merges-only', git bisect will only look at merge commits -- commits with 2 or more parents or the initial commit.

There has been quite some talk on the mailing list, e.g.
https://public-inbox.org/git/20160427204551.GB4613@virgo.localdomain/
which suggests a --first-parent mode instead.

I like that mode, but I would love to have *both*. And from what I see, it
should be relatively easy to add the --first-parent mode on top of
Harald's patches.

For certain histories these are the same, but merges-only is more
restrictive for back-and-forth-cross merges.

You mean merges-only tests *more* in back-and-forth-cross-merges
scenarios?

Ciao,
