Comment 29 for bug 1300349

penalvch, I did not get very far with git bisect, would you confirm if the following seems appropriate?

I am following the KernelBisection wiki, and the command

git log --oneline Ubuntu-3.5.0-16.25..Ubuntu-3.5.0-17.26

gives

git bisect start Ubuntu-3.5.0-17.26 Ubuntu-3.5.0-16.25
Bisecting: a merge base must be tested
[d61ed4631511b08d2e14924eab16a9ddaed44df6] Linux 3.5.4

the command

git rev-list Ubuntu-3.5.0-17.26 | grep $(git log --pretty=oneline -1 Ubuntu-3.5.0-16.25 | cut -d' ' -f1)

does not produce sha1 or any other output. So, although my debian and debian.master folders did not disappear, I think should switch to mainline bisection. From http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/info/kernel-version-map.html I get 3.5.4 .. 3.5.5 in section Quantal (master-next -0). In git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-quantal.git, I don't see any tags 3.5.4 or 3.5.5. So I should git clone something else. In git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git I see similar tags. So, I think I should be bisecting between tags v3.5-rc4 and v3.5-rc5 in git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-quantal.git .
