I haven't had occasion to use git-bisect much, but I was under the

It appears the code supports your statement. I started writing on my
hack-around about a year ago, and the merge-handling code got in with

Perhaps I shouldn't be so paranoid about useless merges anymore then.
Hmm. I shall have to look into it. Perhaps Junio can clarify how it
works? The man-page was terribly silent about how git-bisect handles
merges.

So eventually there's coming something good out of this thread,
without actually writing any code ;)
