I'm chasing a kernel bug that was introduced somewhere between v2.6.20 and 2.6.21rc1, and bisect has done this so far..

git-bisect start # bad: [c8f71b01a50597e298dc3214a2f2be7b8d31170c] Linux 2.6.21-rc1 git-bisect bad c8f71b01a50597e298dc3214a2f2be7b8d31170c # good: [fa285a3d7924a0e3782926e51f16865c5129a2f7] Linux 2.6.20 git-bisect good fa285a3d7924a0e3782926e51f16865c5129a2f7 # bad: [574009c1a895aeeb85eaab29c235d75852b09eb8] Merge branch 'upstream' of git://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/upstream-linus git-bisect bad 574009c1a895aeeb85eaab29c235d75852b09eb8 # bad: [43187902cbfafe73ede0144166b741fb0f7d04e1] Merge master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6 git-bisect bad 43187902cbfafe73ede0144166b741fb0f7d04e1 # good: [1545085a28f226b59c243f88b82ea25393b0d63f] drm: Allow for 44 bit user-tokens (or drm_file offsets) git-bisect good 1545085a28f226b59c243f88b82ea25393b0d63f # good: [c96e2c92072d3e78954c961f53d8c7352f7abbd7] Merge master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb-2.6 git-bisect good c96e2c92072d3e78954c961f53d8c7352f7abbd7

What I'm puzzled at is that this lands me at 2.6.20-rc5, which is *before* the range I'm interested in. What happened here?
