You might want to play with gitbuilder:
http://github.com/apenwarr/gitbuilder

It can bisect automatically and it looks like it could integrate
pretty nicely with this system.  (If you're running a gitbuilder, just
have it submit the smoke test with each build it makes.  gitbuilder
will automatically bisect if 'make test' fails, so eventually you'll
submit smoke tests that *don't* fail.)

Have fun,
