I think that is a saner approach, and further say it would be much saner
to make that token something like
Broken: does not build
A commit may or may not build, a build product may work in some areas just
fine and may have known bugs in some other areas, depending on what kind
of breakage you are interested in. You might even be looking for a change
that fixed a bug for cherry picking. In short, "Bisect: Skip" is too
broad a brush, and does not convey enough information.
And then teach the script you give to "bisect run" to grep for that
"^Broken: " pattern to answer with exit 125 (cannot test), and you are
done.
