Thank you, Jan.

willem at FINS:~/src/subsurface$ git bisect start
willem at FINS:~/src/subsurface$ git bisect bad
willem at FINS:~/src/subsurface$ git bisect good 4.6.4-1003
fatal: Needed a single revision
Bad rev input: 4.6.4-1003
willem at FINS:~/src/subsurface$

I have no way of defining 4.6.4.1003 better. I need a better way to 
specify a reference to  a commit and selecting Help->About Subsurface 
does not give more info.

Kind regards,

willem
