As mentioned at the begining, patches should be bisectable.
|

A good way to test this is to make use of the `git rebase` command,

to run your tests on each commit. Assuming your branch is based off

<code>origin/master</code>, you can run:
|

<pre>
|

$ git rebase --interactive --exec "make check" origin/master

replacing <code>"make check"</code> with whatever other test you want to

run.
