           Summary: Make Perl tools work when using git bisect with Git
                    branch build setup
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dbates at webkit.org


Currently, when using a Git checkout with a Git branch build setup (i.e. git config core.webKitBranchBuild true) the various Perl tools (run-webkit-app, {debug, run}-safari, et cetera) don't work during a git bisect session because they can't find the branch-specific build of WebKit (since git bisect puts Git into a detached HEAD state). These tools are convenient to use when identifying a regression during a git bisect session. We should make the tools work in a Git branch build setup.
