It's 114149.

(TIL that 'git bisect', unlike its Bazaar counterpart, supports 
filtering commits by files they touched. xdisp.c, in this example).

None of GitHub repositories are publicly writable, so there's zero 
danger of that.

Aside from you not having commit rights, Git doesn't have anything 
analogous to Bzr's bound branches built-in, so 'git push' always has to 
be called explicitly (or one can write a custom hook).

To reproduce this bug, the only git command you'd have to type is 'git 
clone', then edit some file inside, then `C-x v v' and `C-c C-e'.

In all likelihood, though, you won't be able to reproduce it, since I 
can't do that starting from 'emacs -Q' either. Sorry about not trying 
that up until now.
