I have added some instructions to deal with tags latest and oldest in
the daily bibisect repo
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=QA%2FHowToBibisect&diff=73085&oldid=73084>.

Of course, if the repo came with these tags laready in place, that
whole section of the page could go away.

Terry.
