I think that there are a number of really good advantages to using a bibisect repo over multiple installs, including: - Each version is pre-configured to run right out of the box - The repository can be updated with a few simple commands (no need to manually install new versions) - The bisecting process is scripted, and thus is probably faster and less error-prone - Git has built-in de-duplication, saving disk space (not sure how much this applies to Windows builds) - The bibisect process spits-out a pre-formatted chunk of text that can be copied right into the bug report Any bibisect testers will have to get git/bash setup on Windows, but I think that process is actually pretty straightforward these days. From my standpoint, the benefits of going with a git-based system (including increased consistency between Windows and Linux) are pretty big.
