Would you mind sending me the correct git command to get > to a specific commit? It should just be $ git checkout 18a87becf85d50e7f3d547f1b7a75108b151374d or whatever the commit number git log shows you for the change I suspect is the problem. > Also, do I need to do a bisect reset? I wouldn't reset the git bisect yet. If you test a commit and it is good, you will want to mark it with 'git bisect good <commit-hash>', and if it is bad, you will want to mark it with 'git bisect bad <commit-hash>' BTW, can you provide the output of 'git bisect log' ?
