This is interesting. In my using git I haven't ever needed to look at descendants. Perhaps that's just because the limitation is deeply established in my mind (git is really the only VCS I've used). How might this information be helpful in normal usage?

That's my theory, too. I never needed to run "bisect" until I had the capability to do so. Now I can't seem to live without it.
