Description

Similarly to git bisect skip. Sometimes, a given version is not a good one to test, e.g. because it crashes on launch (looking at you, v8.0.0-nightly.20191021). I'd like to be able to test a nearby version instead, since I don't know whether to mark this particular version as good or bad.
