Yes, but you should do it first, before starting bisection. After you've
verified .36 is fine, then you do the last three commands:

> $ git bisect start
> $ git bisect good v2.6.36
> $ git bisect bad v2.6.37.6

assuming you have verified also that .37.6 is bad, but I guess so,
otherwise you wouldn't be bisecting in the first place :)

Also, it might make sense to check whether .37 is fine too before
bisecting. If so, you save yourself quite a bit of bisection runs by
marking .37 as good instead of .36.

HTH.
