+@subheading git bisect setup
+
+We need to set up the bisect for each problem we want to
+investigate.
+
+Suppose we have an input file which compiled in version 2.13.32,
+but fails in version 2.13.38 and above.
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+Begin the process:
+
+@example
+git bisect start
+@end example
+
+@item
+Give it the earliest known bad tag:
+
+@example
+git bisect bad release/2.13.38-1
+@end example
+
+(you can see tags with: @code{git tag} )
+
+@item
+Give it the latest known good tag:
+
+@example
+git bisect good release/2.13.32-1
+@end example
+
+You should now see something like:
+@example
+Bisecting: 195 revisions left to test after this (roughly 8 steps)
+[b17e2f3d7a5853a30f7d5a3cdc6b5079e77a3d2a] Web: Announcement
+update for the new "LilyPond Report"
+@end example
+
+@end enumerate
+
+@subheading git bisect actual
+
+@enumerate
+
+@item
+Compile the source:
+
+@example
+make
+@end example
+
+@item
+Test your input file:
+
+@example
+out/bin/lilypond test.ly
+@end example
+
+@item
+Test results?
+
+@itemize
+@item
+Does it crash, or is the output bad? If so:
+
+@example
+git bisect bad
+@end example
+
+@item
+Does your input file produce good output? If so:
+
+@example
+git bisect good
+@end example
+
+@end itemize
+
+@item
+Once the exact problem commit has been identified, git will inform
+you with a message like:
+
+@example
+6d28aebbaaab1be9961a00bf15a1ef93acb91e30 is the first bad commit
+%%% ... blah blah blah ...
+@end example
+
+If there is still a range of commits, then git will automatically
+select a new version for you to test. Go to step #1.
+
+@end enumerate
+
+@subheading Recommendation: use two terminal windows
+
+@itemize
+@item
+One window is open to the @code{build/} directory, and alternates
+between these commands:
+
+@example
+make
+out/bin/lilypond test.ly
+@end example
+
+@item
+One window is open to the top source directory, and alternates
+between these commands:
+
+@example
+git bisect good
+git bisect bad
+@end example
+
+@end itemize
