Today, there exist version control systems that can deal with bisecting over nonlinear histories, as well as temporarily linearizing a history (in case the merge point, rather than a single patch on a merged branch is at fault). It even works, too. That's only tangent to the real issue here, of course. Cheers, Ralf
