I haven't really looked at the git bisect code yet, but the algorithms
are so different that it would likely make the most sense to just add
my algorithm in parallel, rather than trying to combine them.
(Although my algorithm can handle the deterministic case as well,
you'd want to keep the original one too, because mine starts to get a
bit sluggish deciding which commit to test for larger commit ranges. )
It could still be driven by git-bisect script, though.

Converting it to C wouldn't be a trivial task, though, so I may not
get around to it. I'll probably write a more git-like frontend, and
maybe submit a patch to add it to  the contrib directory, to get a
better idea of whether
there are actually any users for this feature, before deciding whether
to do the conversion.
