Brian,

You are in an excellent position to use "git bisect" now!
Do this, roughly:

    $ git checkout master
    $ git bisect start
    $ git bisect bad
    $ git bisect good v1.3.1

Compile and test the versions as indicated.
Then use either

    $ git bisect good
or
    $ git bisect bad

as appropriate.

Repeat until you have narrowed the search
down to just one suspect commit!
