What you claim is fundamentally incompatible with the way "bisect"
works as a O(log(n)) operation.  It is likely that your definition
of Good for the purpose of your bug-hunting needs to be rethought if
you want to take advantage of "bisect".

Are you aware that you can check $GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG and replay it
to recreate any previous state of the bisection?  That would
probably help.
