When bisecting, what type of version/commit number is used to refer to specific commits?

Did you read https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bisect ?

you can use all kinds of references to a commit. Its SHA, a label attached to it. And probably more, that I never used.

Thank you, Jan.

willem@FINS:~/src/subsurface$ git bisect start
willem@FINS:~/src/subsurface$ git bisect bad
willem@FINS:~/src/subsurface$ git bisect good 4.6.4-1003
fatal: Needed a single revision
Bad rev input: 4.6.4-1003
willem@FINS:~/src/subsurface$

I have no way of defining 4.6.4.1003 better. I need a better way to specify a reference to  a commit and selecting Help->About Subsurface does not give more info.

Not sure I fully understand your issue. For example, my current build (-1032) shows in the About screen: .... 4.6.4-1032-g46d0af4849d2

The g46d0af4849d2 part is the SHA (without the g), so the SHA you can use in a bisect is 46d0af4849d2 (and this a SHA from a local commit from me on top of the current master, so this one is not in the official repo).
