The reason is that git-bisect divides the number of commits in half and
checks out the middle commit.  That commit make be a broken one.
Hitting one bug while hunting another is not nice.

Besides, nobody wants to apply a known bad patch.

It would be great if you repost fixed patches.  If you are not using
stgit, please try it.  I would make it easy to return to older patches
and change them.  "stg edit -d" even allows editing the patch.
