I see two different problems each with a different assumption (see the
definition of "bisectable" in the email of Junio C Hamano):

1. (Current) Assume the entire history graph is bisectable. DO: Search
where in the entire graph the first 'trait'/transition occurs.

2. (New) Assume only the graph between one good commit and one bad
commit is bisectable. DO: Search where the first transition occurs in
the graph between these two commits.

If `git bisect` is/would be affected by `git log` history-related options
then this is what `--strict-ancestor` option gives/would give.

isn't that spelt `--ancestry-path` ?
(--ancestry-path has it's own issues such as needing an --first-parent-show option, but that's possibly a by the by)
