"git show 96702be56037" gives:

    commit 96702be560374ee7e7139a34cab03554129abbb4
    Merge: 04f982beb900 d56dbf5bab8c
    ...

04f982beb900 is the previous HEAD, d56dbf5bab8c is the head of the
branch merged by this commit.  "git log 04f982beb900..96702be56037"
shows the commits merged.

I'm not a git bisect expert, but I *think* you should be able to do
something like this:

    git bisect start
    git bisect bad 96702be56037
    git bisect good 04f982beb900

(assuming you've verified that 96702be56037 really *is* bad and
04f982beb900 really *is* good), and git should checkout something in
the middle and you can build and test it, then use "git bisect good"
or "git bisect bad" depending on the result.
