Actually, a script would be necessary in any case, because otherwise
you'd have to repeatedly do cd dmd; git checkout ...; cd ../druntime;
git checkout ...; cd ../phobos; git checkout ...; then rebuild each one,
then test, etc..

A script for checking out druntime/phobos at some particular date (based
on what git bisect selected in dmd, say), would ease a lot of this
tedium.
