"git bisect visualize" is meant as a tool to pin down the culprit
commit that produced a regression.  Sometimes after a few steps the
problematic commit is obvious, which can save some test cycles.

If you want to see the list of commits tested so far, "git bisect log"
can help.  To see the entire bisection state, even outside the
regression window, any old "gitk foo..bar" command will do --- the
bisection state is kept in bisect/* refs that show up in blue.

Can you say a little more about what you're trying to do?  Is the goal
to have a nice visualization of what "git bisect log" shows?  (I'm not
aware of any such tool, and I agree it would be a nice thing.)

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
