+### Commentary:
+
+## Marking the last commits of external tree merges as "good" ensures
+## that all the commits between the external tree root and the merge
+## (excluding the merge-commit itself) are regarded as "good", so "git
+## bisect" will never descend into these branches, which only have the
+## files of the external tree, and in which Emacs can therefore not be
+## built.  The last commit is the parent of the merge commit in the
+## external tree, that is, the parent of the merge commit that is not
+## on master.
+
+### Code:
 
 git bisect start
 
 # Prune commits 1e5b753bf4..806734c1b1 introduced by 0186faf2a1 (Eglot
 # merge on Oct 20 2022)
-# The following tells Git that all the commits between Eglot's root
-# and its merge to master (excluding the merge-commit itself) are
-# regarded as "good", so "git bisect" will never descend into the
-# Eglot's branch, because that branch doesn't have all the files.
