git bisect not reporting updated files like git checkout. Manual checkout same.
by ballsystemlord from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GDCP)
Hello,
I'm working on bisecting the linux kernel. I noticed when I run: git checkout v5.4 from v4.19 I get something like this:
"Updating files: 100% (XXXXXXX/XXXXXXX), done".
But, when going in smaller steps, like from 4.19-rc5 to 4.19-rc1, I don't get a list of updated files. The same when bisecting.
I'm worried. Am I not getting the version I'm asking for? Is git hiding updated files from me?
I've tried with my distro's git Devuan (Debian) Linux and with the latest release (git version 2.31.1)(bash 4.4.12(1)-release). This is totally reproducible. I have run git with the --progress arg.
Thanks!
