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...)
