I'm trying but I'm not even close to a dev and anything beyond 'git
pull' looks tricky.

I've gotten so far:

$ git bisect start
$ git bisect bad
$ git bisect good v2.6.35.1
fatal: Needed a single revision
Bad rev input: v2.6.35.1
$ git bisect good v2.6.35
Bisecting: 3941 revisions left to test after this (roughly 12 steps)
[2192482ee5ce5d5d4a6cec0c351b2d3a744606eb] Merge branch 'for-rmk' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kgene/linux-samsung into
devel-stable

What next? ;)
