How to find closest tag when using git-bisect?
Hi everyone, I'm trying to git-bisect for debugging, but how can I find the tag I need? for example, I'm find the file change at maybe commit fc2bd799c7c79c84a59da6f9221370bc6f38c503, how to find the closest tag for this commit? and a anther question is, is every bisect need to recopmile all kernel code by `make`? or just need to build the thing I need? thanks. Louie.

This is literally the first link you get on google when searching for "closest tag for this commit" https://git-scm.com/docs/git-describe
and a anther question is, is every bisect need to recopmile all kernel code by `make`? or just need to build the thing I need?
Question is not clear. You need to recompile at each step. -- Carlo Caione
