It looks like it can do it.

Does it also work to drive git bisect from a subdirectory and pass a
file name (or pathspec) that is relative to that subdirectory rather
than relative to the root of the worktree? Can `git bisect good` or
`git bisect bad` of later bisection steps be invoked from different
subdirectories or the root?

I think the answers are no and no.  Entries in BISECT_NAMES and
BISECT_LOG are not getting any prefix.
