... then you need to reset your bisect and use that "Release x.x.xx" as your first good bisect (wine-x.x.xx). This particular bisect output is just a version tag, meaning that no real code was changed (and so cannot have made your problem appear). All the "good" bisects you've set tells GIT that all that code is good, until wine-x.x.xx . GIT eliminates all that code except for the version tag, which would be the latest revision before the next version tag.
What does "meaning that no real code was changed (and so cannot have made your problem appear)" phrase mean? Same about

Also, I am just curious about why ccache is not specified as being used when doing regression testing at intermediate steps:
This will reposition the source code in the middle of the remaining patches. You will then recompile Wine by running

BTW, I'm also confused by the fact that compiled Wine behaves differently depending on whether I told "./configure --disable-tests" or not. If tests are disabled, the application being tested often runs more correctly without revealing some bugs! This is why I never use "--disable-tests" to be safe.
Disable tests should result in exactly the same binaries at end as test enabled.
Now that is going to be tricky search for someone. Build with ./configure --disable-tests and without --disable-tests in theory the only difference should be missing files of the tests not built in the --disable-tests. There is a chance that --disable-tests is changing somewhere in active code it should not be. So fixing bugs.
If the bisect identifies a patch that a developer believes is harmless, you may be asked to check the result by reverting that patch.
First, reset the bisect if you haven't already:
I suggest to expand the above by adding the following:
Alternatively, you can also check if the bug was actually invoked by that commit without reverting suspected commit. For this, let's compare the behaviour of the program being tested right after and before this commit. To learn the program's conduct when the commit is in your Git, execute:
then compile Wine and test the program. The bug must be present. If this is the case, move next.
Switch the git tree to the state just before suspected commit by running (the "^" char means that the commit preceding b821e839bb33ac8f56939cc582010ecf4d9c25d4 is now a new detached HEAD):
then rebuild Wine and see if the bug here. It must be gone away. If it's so, you have found the commit caused the bug!
The last step. Reset the HEAD to the original state:

It's not you; it's a problem with the wiki that I've seen before, but seems to have gotten a lot worse. I just spent the last half hour trying to fix the page, and couldn't, so for now I've just reverted your changes.

Can keeping Wine Wiki up-to-date be given such a low priority?

You might try actually reading the thread you're responding to.
