fpga_set_reg(k, REG(reflection_low),REFLECTION_TESTPATTERN);This breaks bisecting. You reference functions which you only add in a later patch.
Note that 'git rebase -i' and the exec keyword can help you test bisectability.
I know 'git rebase -i', but what is the exec keyword? It seems there is some room for improvement on patman :)
Well, it's a rebase command. In addition to pick/edit/reword/squash/fixup you can do 'exec make sandbox', or more likely some script that builds a bunch of things and returns non-zero on failure. Git will then run that command at that point in the rebase (say, pick the first commit, exec) and if the exec fails, you get dropped to a command prompt and can edit the previous commit, etc.
Wow, that's a very nice tool. I will pick it into my workflow.
Cheers Dirk
