I have no experience with GitHub and I do not know how to narrow the issue down to a specific patch. With CVS I used to download the source from different dates to see where a specific issue appeared. Can that be done here as well? How?

1) When you clone a repository (e.g., git clone
https://github.com/cebix/macemu.git) you have the whole history in the
.git directory in your working directory.

You can get a specific revision with the checkout command (e.g.: git
checkout <hash_tag_of_the_revision>). This will change the content of
your working directory with those of the desired revision.

You can get the revisions history (with hash tags) with the log command.
You can see which files have been changed with "git log --raw".

You can also compare directly two revisions with the diff command.

You can also have a look at the bisect command.

Remember that you also can do "git help command" to get help.

2) If you want to change something and not just find the revision that
introduced the bug, I suggest to use the fork button on github and clone
your repository instead of the main one. This will simplify merging your
changes in the main repository later.

Bests,
