Comment 38 for bug 998360

I found a way to restrict the bisect to november 2011 according to the dates in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ but the build process fails because a 'debian" directory is missing.

$ git log --after 2011-11-01 --before 2011-11-30 > log_nov2011
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect good 45f74482a05df8aa9253ec0b228648cbad3dd7e8
$ git bisect bad a493f1a24a496711d96b91c4dc0a1bd35eb6954b
Bisecting: 5283 revisions left to test after this (roughly 12 steps)
[37be944a0270402f9cda291a930b0286f6dc92f5] Merge branch 'drm-core-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux

debian.master/changelog do not exist. Skipped this step

$ fakeroot debian/rules clean
/usr/bin/fakeroot: ligne 178: debian/rules: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

I don't understand https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#Why_did_the_folders_debian_and_debian.master_disappear.3F

Do i need to give up the idea of restricting to november 2011 changesets or is there a way around this ?
