I think this should work: 1) look at "git-bisect log" and take the last good/bad pair 2) "cat .git/refs/heads/bisect" to see where you are now 3) git-log --pretty=oneline GOOD..BAD 4) search for the current commit (found in #2) with "/CURRENT_COMMIT", now move around and choose another commit to test 5) git-reset --hard COMMIT_TO_TEST Example: $ git-bisect start $ git-bisect good v2.6.17 $ git-bisect bad v2.6.18 Bisecting: 3400 revisions left to test after this [2a2ed2db353d949c06b6ef8b6913f65b39111eab] Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild # 2a2ed2db353d949c06b6ef8b6913f65b39111eab doesn't compile/boot ? $ git-bisect log git-bisect start # good: [8ba130df4b67fa40878ccf80d54615132d24bc68] Linux v2.6.17 git-bisect good 8ba130df4b67fa40878ccf80d54615132d24bc68 # bad: [119248f4578ca60b09c20893724e10f19806e6f1] Linux v2.6.18.
