If there's somewhere better to ask this, please point me in the right direction. I've been learning git over the last few days. Specifically, I'm trying out git bisect to locate a change between 2.6.17 and 2.6.18 that broke something. I've reached a point where the kernel I build does not boot. Linus says http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/isolate-bugs-with-bisect.txt "you should try to find another commit close-by". Other docs I've read imply this is done with git bisect visualize. My problem is that I don't have wish/tk installed. Is there a text-based alternative to visualize that I can use? Or is there a different method to locate a nearby commit? The answer may involve something as simple as looking at some git state; I am a git newbie, and reading the docs hasn't helped any, so I won't be surprised to find out I'm overlooking something really obvious. Thanks in advance for any and all help, ..Stu
