This struck me as being weird, but I thought 'git' utility version is different than the package. My mistake! :)

I didn't build my own git version. What I did do was to remove the old git and ensure I am using the Debian installed one.

Now I am getting a different error : root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # which git /usr/bin/git root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git --version git version 1.5.2.3 root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git bisect good v2.6.22-rc6 root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git # git bisect bad v2.6.22-rc8 fatal: Needed a single revision root@amit:/usr/src/linux-git #

A quick search on the net didn't yield anything. Please help me find out what's going wrong. Thanks and Regards,
