$ git bisect start
$ git bisect bad # Current version is bad
$ git bisect good v2.6.13-rc2 # v2.6.13-rc2 is known to be good
Bisect reset

state and return to the original HEAD, issue the
following command:
$ git bisect reset
By default, this will return your tree to the
commit that was checked out before git bisect
