git has a great feature for finding regressions called bisect

http://alblue.bandlem.com/2011/07/git-tip-of-week-git-bisect.html

you provide a known "good" revision, and a known "bad" revision. (you don't 
*have to provide the good revision...
however it definitely narrows down the pool of all commits to tree since the 
beginning of time)

Git then will start cutting the commits in half to narrow down where the 
problem started.
