bisect reset: Allow resetting to any commit, not just a branch
‘git bisect reset’ accepts an optional argument specifying a branch to check out after cleaning up the bisection state. This lets you specify an arbitrary commit. In particular, this provides a way to clean the bisection state without moving HEAD: ‘git bisect reset HEAD’. This may be useful if you are not interested in the state before you began a bisect, especially if checking out the old commit would be expensive and invalidate most of your compiled tree. Clarify the ‘git bisect reset’ documentation to explain this optional argument, which was previously mentioned only in the usage message.
