I think this should work:
1) look at "git-bisect log" and take the last good/bad pair
2) "cat .git/refs/heads/bisect" to see where you are now
3) git-log --pretty=oneline GOOD..BAD
4) search for the current commit (found in #2) with "/CURRENT_COMMIT", now move around and choose another commit to test
5) git-reset --hard COMMIT_TO_TEST
Example:
$ git-bisect start $ git-bisect good v2.6.17 $ git-bisect bad v2.6.18 Bisecting: 3400 revisions left to test after this [2a2ed2db353d949c06b6ef8b6913f65b39111eab] Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild
