 eventually not be able to tell the first bad among a bad and one or
 more "skip"ped commits.
 
+You can even skip a range of commits, instead of just one commit,
+using the "'<commit1>'..'<commit2>'" notation. For example:
+
+------------
+$ git bisect skip v2.5..v2.6
+------------
+
+would mean that no commit between `v2.5` excluded and `v2.6` included
+can be tested.
+
+Note that if you want to also skip the first commit of a range you can
+use something like:
+
+------------
+$ git bisect skip v2.5 v2.5..v2.6
+------------
+
+and the commit pointed to by `v2.5` will be skipped too.
