You can always use a SHA1 id instead of a tag. So when you did

	git bisect good v2.6.17.4

you could always have replaced that "v2.6.17.4" with the SHA1 of the 
commit.

In git, the SHA1 ID's are the "real" names - the tags and branch names are 
purely for human-readable decoration. Git always turns them into SHA1 id's 
internally.
