Have you ever used git bisect? If so, how did you use it? Did it help you find a problem which would otherwise be difficult to find? Story time, I guess?

No, but I once wrote my one git bisect without realizing git bisect existed.

I used it to track down a commit that caused an old bug. The commit didn't pop out on a cursory check, and I was getting lost in tracking the test results.
