Have you ever used git bisect? If so, how did you use it? Did it help you find a problem which would otherwise be difficult to find? Story time, I guess?
Linux 5.17 introduced a null pointer deref in the md (multiple disks) module. That’s the first time I used bisect to find a faulty commit. The issue was fixed in a later release candidate.
It can be a pretty handy tool if you’re dealing with projects that have a high number of commits between releases.
