Yes, this feature would be good to have. StGIT makes it a little less
painful to hack around this limitation, but you still have to remember
popping your patches before running "git bisect good|bad".

Then again, in StGIT's case this could be solved by creating an "stg
bisect" command that takes care of this for you. But I still agree
with you that it would be a win if regular git could do as you
describe.
