And how do you know that wasn't the commit where the bug was introduced? You check it by hand? Great, you've now defeated the purpose of git bisect.

If you're squashing commits together and only leaving chunks that compile & pass the tests, what are you losing by skipping commits that don't compile & pass the tests?

Can you come up with an concrete example of where this would be a problem? I might be missing something but I can't picture a case where there'd be an issue.
