This sounds awfully like `git bisect` without git.  A slightly easier 
approach might be to use `git svn clone` to read the entire busybox svn 
history into git (it's a bit demanding on the busybox server, but it works 
fine, I've done it) ... and then you can actually use git bisect -- so 
long as the two releases are in the svn history.

Just a thought.
