Hm... when I do bisect I just to "git bisect" and feed it the two sha1
hashes it should bisect between, and it has so far done its magic to my
satisfaction (ie. if it was caused by a commit, I have successfully
identified a particular commit where the issue starts).
After that I usually branch off from the commit before the offending
commit and stay there until things are resolved (unless I'm able to
resolve it myself).
Or I branch off master and revert the offending commit until things are
resolved, ie. like so
git checkout master
git checkout -b sb-master
git revert sha1-of-offending-commit
(that's what I did with gnus, when cram-md5 auth disappeared from nnimap
with SSL/TLS...)
