Hey Ewoud,
+1 for bisect,
what's up Ewoud?, this email reminds me good old rhevm-api days.

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.
