Hi,
I'm trying to find out which update causes my 5G Wifi
connection to time out when authenticating.
Following the instructions in git help bisect, I
git cloned the kernel, then git bisect start, and
git bisect bad v3.9.0-rc2.
This errors with :-
fatal: Needed a single revision
Bad rev input: v3.9.0-rc2
and git bisect good v3.9.0-rc1 gives same error.
How are you supposed to specify the revision?
Regards,
Mike.

It has to match a tag name if you're doing that. So it would be:
git bisect good v3.9-rc1; git bisect bad v3.9-rc2
Note the lack of .0.

Try without the ".o", e.g.: git bisect bad v3.9-rc2
