     This tool is useful, when you want to discover when something broke.
     It is also useful, when you just want to experiment with an older historic V.

     The VCOMMIT argument can be a git commitish like HEAD or master and so on.
     When oldv is used with git bisect, you probably want to give HEAD. For example:
          git bisect start
          git bisect bad
          git checkout known_good_commit
          git bisect good
              ## Now git will automatically checkout a middle commit between the bad and the good
          cmd/tools/oldv HEAD --command="run commands in oldv folder, to verify if the commit is good or bad"
              ## See what the result is, and either do: ...
          git bisect good
              ## ... or do:
          git bisect bad
              ## Now you just repeat the above steps, each time running oldv with the same command, then mark the result as good or bad,
              ## until you find the commit, where the problem first occurred.
              ## When you finish, do not forget to do:
          git bisect reset'
