Matthew, Warner, Jamie,

Thanks for the pointer for date-based checkouts.

I've read up a bit on 'git bisect' and it was
not clear to me how to use it.  The examples I
saw  appeared to be an automated binary search
on a single tree.  I fear I may need to revert
src/ and ports/ simultaneously.  Using hash
strings would see to be a path to madness.
