For what little the opinion of a mostly-lurker is worth here, but I
disagree on the bisecting-in-case-of-bugs issue.  Today, there exist
version control systems that can deal with bisecting over nonlinear
histories, as well as temporarily linearizing a history (in case the
merge point, rather than a single patch on a merged branch is at fault).
It even works, too.

That's only tangent to the real issue here, of course.

Cheers,
