+# A script to bisect the mainline commits and find the culprit commit.
+# The default 'git bisect' checks feature branches, which is not desired
+# because commits in feature branch might not pass tests or compile.
+#
+# Example:
+#   python ../bisect.py --git_dir=$PWD/../Paddle --build_dir=$PWD \
+#       --good_commit=3647ed6 --bad_commit=279aa6 \
+#       --test_target=test_rnn_encoder_decoder
