The _real_ reason for both issue issue1228 and issue1182 is that bisect can not
handle cases where there are multiple possibilites for the result.
Example (from issue1228):
rev 0 -> good
rev 1 -> skipped
rev 2 -> skipped
rev 3 -> skipped
rev 4 -> bad
Which one is the first bad revision? It might 1, 2, 3 or 4!
This patch adds support for detecting and printing multiple bisect results.
(by the way: this is also the way such bisects are handles by git)
Note that this patch does not only fix the reported Assertion Error but also
the problem of a non converging bisect (as reported in msg6313 of issue1182).
This can easily reproduced by the following steps:
hg init
for i in `seq 3`; do echo $i > $i; hg add $i; hg ci -m$i; done
hg bisect -b 2
hg bisect -g 0
hg bisect -s
