A git bisect only slightly automates what you can do by hand with SVN.

It's just a b-tree search. r21710 is bad, r21471 is good. Halfway between is r21590, so you try that one next. If it's good,
go halfway again towards 21710, 21640; if bad, go the other way, to 21530. Lather, rinse, repeat; you'll eventually find (more-or-less) adjacent changes that work and don't; then you can examine what's different. Pay close attention to what fails; if something breaks for some other reason, you'll need to either fix that or try a nearby rev to get around the irrelevant failure.

Good luck, and have fun!
