In practice I bisect the date instead; that way I can issue the same command in all my svn source directories from <a href="http://sf.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">sf.net</a> and <a href="http://lbl.gov" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">lbl.gov</a>. For example:<br>

</span>> svn update -r "{2014-03-08 18:00}”<br>
<br>
You can do that with git as well but it looks more geeky:<br>
<br>
git checkout `git rev-list -n 1 --before="2014-03-08 18:00” master`<br>
<br>
although you could easily put that in a tiny script called checkout-date and then issue “git checkout-date”.<br>
<br>
In any case, git bisect is easy to run in the simple case where you know HEAD is broken but 3c303a24 is good:<br>
<br>
% git bisect start HEAD 3c303a24 —<br>
<br>
This will checkout some version half-way through. You test and you find it’s broken:<br>
<br>
% git bisect bad<br>
<br>
If on the contrary, you find it works fine:<br>
<br>
% git bisect good<br>
<br>
Either of those commands will again checkout some version half-way through. Then you continue until git tells you the bisection is done.<br>
