My mistake! :) > that. Maybe you should build your own git packages. Lucky you that it is > pretty easy with debian. Have a look at this thread: I didn't build my own git version. What I did do was to remove the old git and ensure I am using the Debian installed one. Now I am getting a different error : root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # which git /usr/bin/git root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git --version git version 1.5.2.3 root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git bisect good v2.6.22-rc6 root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git bisect bad v2.6.22-rc8 fatal: Needed a single revision root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # A quick search on the net didn't yield anything. Please help me find out what's going wrong.
