Filtering `git bisect` by using the start parameter doesn't seem to work?

23 views Asked by At

I'm trying to filter all my git bisect requests so that I only test pr's where there are changes to a specific folder (say iOS) within my git folder.

My git folder structure contains several folders say iOS, android, server.

I run git bisect start -- iOS/ but when I provide my good and bad commits with say git bisect good my_good_commit and git bisect bad my_bad_commit I end up testing a pr which has no changes in the iOS directory.

I tried checking the man page by running man git-bisect and it says

You can further cut down the number of trials, if you know what part of the tree is involved in the problem you are tracking down, by specifying path parameters when issuing the bisect start command:

$ git bisect start -- arch/i386 include/asm-i386

Any ideas?
