Instructions on git-bisect and how to use it are here: - http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-bisect.html - http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/isolate-bugs-with-bisect.txt - http://boinkor.net/archives/2006/11/using_git_bisect_to_locate_bug_1.html These are just a few of the hits from Google. The first link above is the man page for git-bisect, the second link is a guide by Linus, and these are the most important to read. Good luck.
