> I originally posted this page on 2004-06-01... Diff debugging isn't a term that's caught on much in the industry, but I haven't seen a another term generally used to describe it.

I can't speak to 2004, but these days "bisect" is the standard term in my circles (even when we're not actually using git and its bisect command).

It would be interesting to know whether git was the first to associate that word with this activity... especially given it's atrocious naming of everything else :P
