I'm in a git bisect and am experiencing strangeness. I did a
$ git checkout -b rc v2.6.26-rc1
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect bad
$ git bisect good v2.6.25
Yet, during this I'm finding myself at 2.6.25-rc6 and 2.6.25-rc8
as the last two results (both good...).
Here's the BISECT_LOG upto this point. Is there anyone available
who understands this well enough to be able to say from this that
my tree is fubar? It should be a straight Linus' clone, and it's
always pulling without trouble.

Don't trust any dates you see in git. ;-)
The last commit in your list was added to David's tree at around the time Linus released Linux 2.6.25-rc7.
But David's tree was merged into Linus' tree after 2.6.25.
So actually everything is fine.
