See http://lwn.net/Articles/317154/ or http://clock.co.uk/tech-blogs/git-bisect-simple-examples-and-automation as well. First you find a known BAD, for example master. Then you find a known GOOD (for example 100 commits ago in master: master~100). Then we can use a script to determine if it's good. I'm assuming mvn test will be sufficient, but maybe you can refine this to only test for a specific unit test. git bisect start BAD GOOD git bisect run mvn test Now it will do a binary search in your history trying to find the commit that broke mvn test.
