My last "git bisect good" reported this:

1860e379875dfe7271c649058aeddffe5afd9d0d is the first bad commit
commit 1860e379875dfe7271c649058aeddffe5afd9d0d
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds at linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Sun Jun 8 11:19:54 2014 -0700

    Linux 3.15

:100644 100644 cdaa5b6a1c4d6e43e4c0c784831e1e3cb0d9fae5
6d1e304943a379c126c40e2aa1eb3bf4e872ecb1 M Makefile

But that doesn't appear to be a bad commit, it's just the version bump
from v3.15-rc8 to v3.15.  I can only guess it's (wrongly) saying
that's a bad commit because there's nothing left to bisect.

It appears I have completed the full bisection at 7 bisections.
Running "git bisect good" again reports the same commit above.

I was following this guide:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-bisect-lk2009.html
