Agreed. I'm entirely not following how a commit stream that may contain entirely broken commits aids in bisecting to find a specific flaw. Those would just be noise, at best. Even if you're just manually testing each commit, you do need it to build and run.

git bisect is not something one thinks when commiting code.

And there is a difference between entirely broken builds and not-tested ones.
