Errrrm, if you don't compile/test those intermediate versions,
how do you know whether to tag it good/bad ?
Sorry, I wrote this part carelessly: "If I had checked out and
compiled those intermediate versions from scratch..."
I meant to emphasize the 'from scratch'. I did check out and compile
the versions, but I didn't compile from scratch. i.e. I just took
whatever directory tree I got after
git bisect good
or
git bisect bad
and then did 'make -j 4'. Perhaps I should have done
make clean
<restore .config>
make -j 4
to be really sure that every file that needed recompilation got
recompiled.
