Can we enforce that "git bisect" must work on official branches?


I think a good principle independent of moving to git is that commits
should be bisectable.  In particular, if a patch series is committed as
separate commits, each commit should be intended to leave the tree in a
working state; if a change was split up purely for review purposes rather
than with each subset 1-N of the patches intended to leave a working tree,
combine the changes before committing.

Yes. But if there was a merge from a feature branch that doesn'tachieve this (as I expect many don't, in early WIP stages), then you cantell bisect to avoid descending into other branches.
