Yes, but see the caveat in my other email. You need to have git-1.5.1 or
newer to have this work (it will *mostly* work in older versions, but
older versions have a terminating problem, so while it actually does the
bisection correctly, it will screw up at the very end unless all commits
in the final range are "dense" in that they all trigger in those
pathnames).

That file got folded into the user manual, so it doesn't exist as a
stand-alone thing any more.
