If so, then you don't need to test every commit. As David mentionned,
"git bisect" is your friend, and will do a binary search, finding the
culprit commit much more efficiently (run the testsuite log(n) times
instead of n times).

OTOH, if you want some kind of quality insurance (i.e. check that
every commit is OK, including the case where a commit introduces a
bug, and the next one fixes it), bisect is rather helpless.
