I suspect Jakub will strongly want to see some kind commit hook to
associate something similar to an SVN id to each git commit to support
his workflow where the SVN ids are associated with the compiler

talked about it last year, he just needs an increasing # for each
commit, presumably starting with whatever the last SVN ID is when we
make the change.
Jakub: How about using git bisect instead, and identify the compiler
binaries with the git commit sha1?
That is really not useful. While you speed it bisection somewhat by avoiding
network traffic and communication with a server, there is still significant
time spent on actually building the compiler.
I thought the suggestion was to use the git hash to identify the builds
you save.
So you'd use git bisect merely to get the hash id. Once you've got the
git hash, you can then use that to find the right cc1/cc1plus/f95 that
you'd previously built.
It's not perfect (since you can't just look git hashes and know which
one is newer).
