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?

This is how I used it too. Write a test that fails with the "bad" version. Use a script to cherry-pick and run the test. It's fun to watch it find the first bad commit even though what git bisect does is quite simple.
