Ok, I'm personally heading to bed, but it rally should be as simple as

- get the git tree in the first place
- do

git bisect good v2.6.19
git bisect bad v2.6.20-rc2
.. it will pick a point for you to try ..
.. compile, boot, test ..

"git bisect {good|bad}" depending on results

- until (found)

(Of course, you should check that -rc2 really is bad to make sure. I think
that's what Uwe reported, though. And I don't think we've done anything
after -rc2 that could impact this, so I don't doubt it).
