Could you bisect it? Even if you don't bisect it _all_ the way, 27..31 is 
a big range. Doing just a handful of bisections (say six or seven) would 
cut down the number of commits from 47 thousand to somewhat more 
manageable "hundreds of commits"... But obviously going all the way would 
be better.
