I vehemently disagree. A counter-argument to his `git bisect` problem is whenever I do `git bisect` and I end up on the merge commit being the culprit. At that point I want to cry, because merge commits tend to be ungrokkable — there is so much noise in them.

Also, don't even get me started on `git revert`ing merge commits... Down that road lies sadness and disillusion.

Indeed. Seems like a better solution to his problem is to run unit tests after a merge before pushing it upstream. Then no more non compiling commits.
