Now you have to compile ('make') the code, and test the version (using
the wine you just compiled, so use full path)
If it works, just say 'git bisect good' (meaning this version is
good); if it doesn't, use 'git bisect bad' (meaning this version is
bad)

The unstable version fixed almost all of the problems I've had until now. Is it possible to run dual versions? So I can use rc6 for my day job, and test with another?

Yes, you have to use another wineprefix. See

You'd have to install your application in this new "windows installation" first.
