Sure it can ;) But what should I match as GOOD for first bisect?
wireless-testing merges mainline all the time. So there are
wireless-testing specific commits between John's merge of 2.6.39-rc5
and 2.6.39-rc6. I can not match Linus's 2.6.39-rc6 as GOOD, because I
won't test wireless-testing specific changes done earlier (these that
didn't go info mainline).

Maybe I should call GOOD a commit that wireless-testing is based on?
Which one would it be?

Or maybe I could rebase wireless-testing on mainline and then I could
use 2.6.39-rc6 as GOOD?
