Hi!
I was trying to do a git bisect on 2.6.22-git6 and 2.6.22-git8. For
which I get following error :
root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git bisect good v2.6.22-git6
Bad rev input: v2.6.22-git6
The repository is obtained by :
root@amit:/usr/src # git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6 linux-git
I am running following git version on Debian Sid, updated today.
# git --version
git version 0.99.8.GIT
'# dpkg -l | grep git' shows ' git-core
1:1.5.2.3-1'
I tried searching man-pages/documentation/website but couldn't find any
references to git bisect on -git kernels. I would be grateful if anyone
can help me find what's going wrong.
As I am not subscribed to the mailing-list, please cc me to all the
messages on the thread.
Thanks and Regards,

There is a very old GIT version in your PATH (version 0.99*), which
takes preference over the version from sid.
This struck me as being weird, but I thought 'git' utility version is
different than the package. My mistake! :)
that. Maybe you should build your own git packages. Lucky you that it is
pretty easy with debian. Have a look at this thread:
I didn't build my own git version. What I did do was to remove the old
git and ensure I am using the Debian installed one.
Now I am getting a different error :
root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # which git
/usr/bin/git
root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git --version
git version 1.5.2.3
root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git bisect good v2.6.22-rc6
root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git bisect bad v2.6.22-rc8
fatal: Needed a single revision
root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git #
A quick search on the net didn't yield anything. Please help me find out
what's going wrong.

The -git# is added by a script and does not exists as tags.
The same place where you retreive the -git files has a file identifying
the commit that is the latest - use the SHA of this and you should
be happy.

The -git snapshots are made automatically by kernel.org, and their name
is not included in the git repository. You could create tags for them
like this:
git tag v2.6.22-git6 8f41958bdd577731f7411c9605cfaa9db6766809
git tag v2.6.22-git8 a5fcaa210626a79465321e344c91a6a7dc3881fa
... and afterwards you can use those revision names with bisect (or
other git commands). I've got the commit IDs (i.e. those mysterious 40
hex digits above) from the first line of the changelogs; their URLs are:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.22-git6.loghttp://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.22-git8.log

you seem to be missing a "git bisect start" from that sequence ... see the

You need to start off by saying
$ git bisect start
to set up the necessary infrastructure.

Yes indeed. Somehow the state was messed up due to different commands I
had tried. Now it works ok.
