== How can I do a bisection? ==
If you're investigating a regression/improvement but for some reason it happened in a revision interval where the jobs aren't able to run or the revision contains multiple commits (this happens more often on mozilla-beta), you need to do a bisection in order to find the exact culprit. We usually adopt the binary search method. Say you have the revisions:
- abcde1 - first regressed/improved value
- abcde2
- abcde3
- abcde4
- abcde5
- abcde6
- abcde7 - last good value
