The most practical way of doing this would be to download bitkeeper and do
a binary search.
1: Do `bk changes > foo'.
This generates a monster changelog file which is your
bisection-searching guide. It has stuff like:
ChangeSet@1.1734, 2004-05-21 22:59:48+01:00, tony@com.rmk.(none)
[ARM PATCH] 1887/1: Update OMAP low level debug functions again
Patch from Tony Lindgren
This patch makes the low level debug functions work when support is
compiled in for multiple OMAPs. The patch also removes now unnecessary
include, incorrect comment, and SERIAL_REG_SHIFT ifdefs.
2: Do
bl clone -ql -r1.1734 ref-repo test-repo
and you have a tree up to and including 1.1734.
3: cd test-repo ; bk -r get
4: build, test, choose new revision, goto step 1.
It's probably possible to do the same with the CVS tree - I haven't tried.
