BTW, we are still using 1.4.4.1.  This will work with that?

Another BTW: this seems very similar to something that you would tackle with git bisect (haven't used that yet), but as I understand it, git bisect works on tags(??).

Sort of what I had in mind:

% git bisect start % git bisect good --date="2 days ago" % git bisect bad master [...]
