 determine the eventual outcome of the bisect session.
 
+OPTIONS
+-------
+--no-checkout::
++
+Do not checkout the new working tree at each iteration of the bisection
+process. Instead just update a special reference named 'BISECT_HEAD' to make
+it point to the commit that should be tested.
++
+This option may be useful when the test you would perform in each step
+does not require a checked out tree.
++
+If the repository is bare, `--no-checkout` is assumed.
