Git bisect is actually quite easy to use. First you have to find a "good"
version (i.e. git commit). A version is good if the bug isn't there.
Then you start the bisection:
$ git bisect start bad-version good-version

Git bisect will check out a version for you to test. Now test this
version and tell git bisect whether you experience the bug or not.
$ git bisect good  # if the bug is there
$ git bisect bad   # if it's not there

Repeat this precess until git bisect good/bad prints a message of the form:

    02f8c6aee8df3cdc935e9bdd4f2d020306035dbe is the first bad commit.
    commit 02f8c6aee8df3cdc935e9bdd4f2d020306035dbe
