Re: [Audacity-devel] How to locate a commit?

[Pokechu22 <pok...@gm...>]

The fastest way to locate a commit is to use git bisect, as it requires you
to check a logarithmic number of commits (so for 1000 commits, you only
need to check 10 or so of them).  It can be a bit complicated to get
started with, but https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bisect-lk2009 is a pretty
helpful guide.
