And you can also use bisect by first figuring out the broken commit some other way and then marking everything as good if its before that one or bad if its after - but that's not a very productive use of bisect and if its the only available one I think its fair to call it broken.

Bisect exists to be a tool you can use to fix the problems you are facing.

It you are faced by problems you create for yourself and you are unwilling to work around the problems you are creating then there is no tool on earth that can help you.
