I took a brief look at this. For the record, there are two completely 
different scripts called svn-bisect, depending on which Linux distro you 
use. The script mentioned above is a shell script found in Debian / 
Ubuntu. The entire script is patched in during the subversion build 
process, and it is packaged in Debian's 'subversion-tools'.

Fedora / Centos have a perl script (also called svn-bisect) coming from 
the App-SVN-Bisect perl module. The script is in its own package, also 
called 'svn-bisect'. This won't run in Cygwin as things stand, as a 
number of dependent perl modules are missing.

The two scripts perform the same function, and the calling syntax is 
/nearly/ the same...

Dave.
