+Cutting down bisection by giving path parameter to bisect start
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 giving
+paths parameters when you say `bisect start`, like this:
 
 ------------
 $ git bisect start arch/i386 include/asm-i386
 ------------
 
+Bisect run
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you have a script that can tell if the current source code is good
+or bad, you can automatically bisect using:
+
+------------
+$ git bisect run my_script
+------------
+
+Note that the "run" script (`my_script` in the above example) should
+exit with code 0 in case the current source code is good and with a
+code between 1 and 127 (included) in case the current source code is
+bad.
+
+Any other exit code will abort the automatic bisect process. (A
+program that does "exit(-1)" leaves $? = 255, see exit(3) manual page,
+the value is chopped with "& 0377".)
+
+You may often find that during bisect you want to have near-constant
+tweaks (e.g., s/#define DEBUG 0/#define DEBUG 1/ in a header file, or
+"revision that does not have this commit needs this patch applied to
+work around other problem this bisection is not interested in")
+applied to the revision being tested.
+
+To cope with such a situation, after the inner git-bisect finds the
+next revision to test, with the "run" script, you can apply that tweak
+before compiling, run the real test, and after the test decides if the
+revision (possibly with the needed tweaks) passed the test, rewind the
+tree to the pristine state.  Finally the "run" script can exit with
+the status of the real test to let "git bisect run" command loop to
+know the outcome.
