Depends.  Are you insisting on "type this command" validity, or general concepts?

Much of section 1 (from 1.2 to 1.5) has been rendered totally obsolete by the linux-next
development tree.

Most of the basic concepts remain the same - a binary search using git hasn't changed
much, and their explanation of things that can go wrong still applies to most uses
of 'git bisect'.   However, they refer to 'git-this', 'git-that', 'git-whatever', while most
more recent documentation uses 'git this', 'git that' etc.

And of course, the details of what testing *you* should be doing will depend on
*why* you're doing testing in the first place - see the recent discussion about
performance testing for examples.
