 #   BISECT_BAD with BISECT_CHECK = good or

+# BISECT_TRIES = 5 (optional, default 1)
+#
+#   For those cases that it takes several tries to hit a bug,
+#   the BISECT_TRIES is useful. It is the number of times the
+#   test is ran before it says the kernel is good. The first failure
+#   will stop trying and mark the current SHA1 as bad.
+#
+#   Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if
+#   it succeeds, it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case
+#   the bug is some what reliable.
+#
+#   You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered
+#   good, unless you also set BISECT_MANUAL.

 # BISECT_RET_GOOD = 0 (optional, default undefined)
