For a single day's linux-next tree, it should be just like Linus's
tree... just clone

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git

and bisect as usual.

The funkiness is that if you say, "linux-next from July 24 worked,
linux-next from July 25 didn't," then it's pretty much hopeless, exactly
because those two trees were built independently.
