I wrote a tool which generates a git repository containing the D
components as submodules:

This repository has a linear history, and contains only updates to its
submodules. The submodule updates are mainly pull request merge commits,
obtained by traversing each repository's commit tree, starting with the
master branch, through each commit's first parent. These commits are
interwoven in a chronological order, so that all pull requests merged
within the same week/day/hour are always neighbored together, regardless
of the D component.
The result is a repository which should be much easier to
regression-test than individual D components, as there are often D
changes which require simultaneous changes to several components. Using
this repository with "git bisect run" allows easily pinpointing the pull
request which introduced a regression.
The repository updates hourly. The tool itself can be found here:

TODO: support branches other than master. This will expose release tags
currently hidden on release branches (however, I'm not sure how useful
that would be to git bisect in this particular case).
I've been using the following repository to build the most recent dmd,
druntime, and phobos:
https://github.com/carlor/dlang-workspace
Are they similar?
